thanks to everyone (already checked that thread Karen, thanks!)... and I'm gonna take the plunge into Poser 6 only, for the time being.,..I know it may seem weird to go for an already outdated software, but seriously, until the Poser 7 horror stories stop (or until the "I have Poser 7, but keep using Poser 6" stories die out), then I'll just dive into P6 and hope not to drown...

wish me luck! and thanks again for aiding my decission!
