I DO NOT WANT TO BUY A DOLPHIN SCREEN-SAVER!"***

**I'm not especially interested in buying yet another big-breasted, cookie-cutter-variation-on-the-same-damn-hooker-look model from DAZ, so I turned off the newsletters. You can do the same with Smith Micro's; just opt out — they give you that option with every single one they send. I dont see anything wrong with a company that handles more than just Poser wanting to advertise that fact to its market base -- while I'm not one of them, I imagine there very well might be people out there who want a dolphin screen saver. Hell, I took advantage of the free one they offered recently: it's mindless fun, nothing more... just like Poser, I might add. But some of their utilities are pretty useful, especially for those of us on the Mac side of things.

As for Content Paradise, it was pretty well doomed from the beginning, when people were desperately looking for workarounds to get it out when it showed up in P5. It was, in theory anyway, a pretty good idea: it just wasnt implemented very well at the outset — and as a result, it, like Poser itself, got a stigma that it could never quite shake off.

Well, that, plus the fact that, as I said, it's a pretty boring place to shop. They desperately need someone who can punch up their look, 'cause this latest one just doesnt cut it.**
