Quote - $129 for 100 undo/redo.  Ho hum.  Still waiting for the closing deal.

Hmmm.  I wouldn't be so glib about it.  For some reason, people are acting as it they just added a variable and, voila!, there were 100 undos available.  From my discussions, adding multiple undo support to the Poser codebase is an undertaking of immense proportions (rewrite the code from the ground up type thing).  It's not a ho hum - it's a "Wow, they actually sat down and figured a way to do it despite the insurmountable problems invovled".

Sorry, as a developer, I find "user's" ignorance of the complexity of the process to be insulting sometimes.  Simply adding a button can involve an hour's or a year's work (variables, GUI, settings, checks, the actual functionality - which could be as simple as one function or as complex as 'determine the chaotic state of the universe over the past billion years considering the quantum state flux of every particle within that relativistic time frame').  A button, ho hum...  Consider the possible work that goes on behind that button...

C makes it easy to shoot yourself in the foot. C++ makes it harder, but when you do, you blow your whole leg off.
