Hi Folks! I don't mind paying a good bit for online props if the quality of the product and the service is very high. I have not only been very pleased with the products I've purchased from Traveler, Jim Burton, and Anton, but also very impressed that they respond promptly and patiently to any questions I have about loading or using them. Clearly, the notorious upgrade spiral is just as much a factor in the growth of the Poser character universe as it is for software we use to generate those characters and textures. The technical and creative boundaries will keep getting pushed, and there's simply too much good stuff out here to get everything we want at once. But folks who understand how digital content field works--or work in it--do not expect for all this innovation to be free. For my part I will just continue to be as selective as I am about everything I purchase. And good service will always keep me coming back with plastic in hand for more stuff. Peter (Dr Zik)
