I, like Kalon bought Poser 1 as a pre-order from a computer catalog. I thought I could use it to design people doing exercises for my Physical Therapy Clinic. It was too cumbersome and the figures were too geeky for that purpose. I kept buying upgrades but not using it much until I started writing a medical book. I did some illustrations with Poser but mostly used it for diversion and stress relief from writing. Once I started to add up how much I have spent on Poser stuff but when I got over $2000 I decided I didn't really want to know!
