Didn't know it at the time, but Poser 1 actually came with my first computer! It was an off the shelf markdown, and the price was right (though the one I'm currently using is vastly more powerful, with 100x more storage space AND a great video card, and still cost about the same). I never even knew it there, until a few months later, when I bought Raydream Designer 4, I noticed that there was another program listed in the Fractal Design folder. I thought it was an easter egg from the Raydream install. It was, er, interesting (we've come a long, loooong way baby). I had a HDD meltdown later on, and had to reformat. Reinstalling Raydream did not put Poser back, so I then figured out that one of the guys at the store must have stuck it on there (they did sell Poser). Saw a Poser 2 ad in a magazine, and the rest is Poser history.
