"reserve the funds" is just a euphamism for 'we took your money, you've paid and lost that money, but we're not giving it to the other guy yet because we want to invest it in some energy stocks or that trip to Vegas with the hot secretary down the hall...'

When I lived in South Korea this was how people paid rent - they got their money 'held' by the landlord for X amount of time, at the end of the time the landlord paid them back 100% of the money. The point? The landlord made a killing off the interest...

It was still your money, but as long as its in somebody else's pocket it might as well be gone.

e-fronteir doesn't benefit from this scam, but the credit card companies sure do.

Well said arcady - you have put it perspective nicely...............

And I wasn't going to stress on it too much before - but I will take the plunge and say that I am really dissapointed in this offer after thinking about it  - it means that all those who grabbed Poser 5 for free can now get the same upgrade deal as those of us who forked out to early adopt  Poser 6.

The supreme irony of life is that hardly anyone gets out of it alive.
