Believe I feel your pain....well at least I did until a few months ago when I got a new PC. But I saved, ebayed a few unwanted coins out of my collection and other items, didn't buy any poser stuff and squeezed any extra change I had to buy the new PC.

I went from a AMD Athlon XP 1700 with one gig of ram to a AMD dual core with 2 gigs of ram and the latest hardware (AM2), but of course we know how long the latest hardware STAYS the latest hardware.

My kids say the same thing, my daughter will walk into my office and see me on the PC with poser open and say, "Playing with digital Barbie again Dad?"  My oldest, when he's home on leave, just shakes his head when goes by my office. My wife? Actually she gives me less of hard time. She finds the whole 3D art thing fascinating but she does wonder where some artist get their ideas about how women should look. She will look at the galleries with me and every so often she'll see an image of a rather overly endowed woman and say, My gosh look at the jugs on that one! I see back problems in her future..LOL!" Basically, my wife knows that if I'm sitting on the PC playing with poser I'm not out getting into trouble...LOL!!

It would be interesting to hear from other poser nuts like ourselves and what our families think about our hobby.
