Got my first 'puter in '97 and bought Ray Dream Studio and fell in love with Fry's electronics on the same day (west coast US), ensuring that I would constantly be broke. Saw Poser 3, looked cool. Downloaded as much content as I can find, which STILL litters my Runtime in case I'll ever need it. Didn't discover 'Rosity or Daz3d until 2002, further securing polygonal addiction.
