*"OTOH, I've bought enough software to know that it's utter crap to tell other people not to buy because you've had a bad experience."

*My Pinto just exploded in to flames and I was wondering if anyone should be told about this so it might not happen to them?

My version of Poser 8 doesn't function properly. Smith Micro has look at my setting and hardware info and has stated that there are no problems with my computer setting that they could determine. They also said that they are aware of the issue that is causing the FFRender to fail which means a problem already exists with the sofware. This guy wants to know whether he should be buying this program. I CAN'T USE MINE which, according to Smith Micro is of no fault of mine.

I am not some Novice who knows nothing about CG. I too have been buying software for a long time now. When I buy something that doesn't work for me and somebody aks me what I think I tell them so they have a good sense of what they are possibly going to buy. And you think that it is utter crap to do this? My problem isn't a light set glitch or some geometry bug in Vicky 4, my problem is that it won't work!!! I think this guy, the OP deserves to now about it before he shells out his money. But you think it's utter crap?
