I have tons of other examples, but this should do....

The point is, being a torch wielding luddite is as wrong as being a bleeding edge technophile.
Giving up perfectly good content just to run after the latest greatest "Oh, shiney" because the big' ol' gods of capitalism (NEVER STAND STILL ! YOU MUST GROW !) and progress say so can be very hazardous.

The typical Poser user is not a semi-professional 8GB RAM Quad-Core Power user, but somebody with a machine three or more generations old and on fixed income.
Why do you think stuff above $20 doesn't sell in Poserland ?

Making all that content they spent thousands of $$$ on over the last ten years obsolete would be quite...unwise IMVHO.

It's the small people who fill the galleries with kitschy softcore renders that made Poser great, not the few "elite users" who have wet dreams about finally getting some "respect" from those "professional" Max/Maya guys.

I'm all for progress.
But I ignored P5 and P6 and kept working with P4 until something "really" better came along, and now I'm using P7 exclusively.
And I will ignore V4 completely and happily stick to Posette and Dork and all the now "obsolete" DAZ Unimeshes until I see some "real" progress made.
