Quote - thank you both - currently, i have no plans to purchase poser 8 - i've been reading about it, and part of my decision is my deep disappointment in smith micro for not offering a purchase of the poser 8 user guide in printed form.

IMO, the PDF manual, starting with Poser Pro and also P8, are the best laid out I have seen for any application. No scrolling within a page.
I wish some other apps would take notice.
Been meaning to thank Smith-Micro for that.
