You are pardoned. I feel sorry for the pain you are going through.

I have used every Poser version since Poser 7 (I'm quite new at this game), and I am seeing improvements in stability with every new release (at least, on Mac).

I know that does not really help you, shorterbus. I only mention it to try to give you some faith that whatever problems you are having with Poser can be resolved, and that the product is not really as stinky as it seems right now. :O)
