I don't think P6 was that big a jump on P5. Wasn't there something about a change of ownership in there? I'm pretty sure that I bought P5 in late '03  and the readme is dated August '02. P6 was March '05. So P7 came out fairly quickly, under two years.

Since P8 includes Wardrobe Wizard, and if you don't have a copy the normal price is half that of a P7 upgrade, it's not so expensive. But I want a better idea of how it'll run on this old machine. If it needs multi-core processors and metric s--tloads of RAM, my answer is NO!

I doubt the UI is any better in terms of colours and contrast, from what I've seen, but I've replaced my monitor recently, and that's helping a lot. Though a bit more control on font sizes would be a help too. Do P7 and P8 still used fonts defined by pixel maps?

And is there any truth in the rumour of a "Make Porn" button?
