I would also like to say that back then, in 1999, people DID NOT expect everything to work with a single click. They made their own morphs. They made their own clothes. They figured out the innovations that people now take for granted. That was the days when people shared information in learning how to make the changes themselves. 

This is true.
And the marketplaces all over largely killed much of that.
And the enormous success of the marketplaces stagnated Poser's development as "Content Paradise" was born, while "bloated runtimes" led to things like this ridiculous new library instead of a new render engine...
