Don't remember the year, but I pre-ordered Poser 1 from some software catalog. 

It was not to be, however, there was a problem with the joints (but at that time no one, including Fractal Design had a clue). Spent a few weeks faxing printouts of the renders I was getting. Last call I got from their tech support was that someone else had the problem, so I was officially removed from the insane idiot customer list. I moved, lost touch, forgot... and then maybe a year and a half to two years later, picked up Poser 2.
