I started with a free copy of Poser2 late in 2000, upgraded to Poser4 early
in 2001, now approx. 6 years ago (ooops).
I am still using Poser4 for most of my projects, did my first steps with the
free copy of Poser5 (esp. material room, mirroring and water surfaces).
and - yes - I am still refusing buying Poser6 or 7 ...
(guess I am waiting until Poser10 is released and get a free copy of Poser7 -
LOL)
