Not to mention what the effect of turning Poser into a $1000+ app would be. If the cost of the software ever gets that high, then Poser will no longer be an application to appeal to casual 3D hobbyists. And Poser's market will shrink accordingly. I don't know that their market would "shrink". Yes, they would lose the hobbyist market who won't pay $99 for an upgrade... but at the same time, they'll get the "professional" market who won't blink at paying $2,500 for programs like 3D Studio Max. If e-f raised the price, would the "professionals" start to think that Poser is more than a hobbyist toy? --John
