and not aimed at any of the posters in this thread, but at folk who may wonder how I have so much stuff...
I've been collecting for over 10 years, that's why!

DAZ3D platinum clubs awesome way to get free/cheap stuff.
I used ot have a huge load of free stuff back from my Bryce days but got rid of that to keep everything as much stire bought only as possible, so not to worry about commercial useage if I sell a render, etc.

I save stuff I bought form Xurge in a seperate folder until I moved it to other ones, as I bought a lot of their very cool outfits in oen go due to a sale, I have accounts with them, DAZ and others, and can prove it.

My apps, listed on bottm row, left to right are:

Photoshop CS4 Extended (32 bit, as 64 bit won't work with a lot of my old plugins)

PaintShopPro X2, PSP was for years my fave 2 D app and is still great for making tutorial pics etc

Rhino4, bought V2 in college (studnet prices, woot), and upgraded ever since.

Poser 8. I've had 4, 5, 6, sckipped 7, and bought upgrade to 8.

VSO Image Resizer, very damn handy! and free

COlor COp, very handy for getting the RGB colour form a pic

3dCoat3, 64 bit, another app I ain't had time/health to learn, sigh, damn nicer to use than Zbrush

UVMapper Pro3, used UVmapper for ages

Shader Map Pro, another item I bought dirt cheap cause I check for sales/newsletters all the time

Atangeo balancer, since I use Rhino, alas, my models suck ass for HUGE polygon counts

Grobto, another I picked up dirt cheap from a newsletter, you never have neough tools

D&D character Builder, ok, so, I'm a geek ;)

Dreamweaver4, too damn expensive to upgrade so stayed iwth it all these years and used money on art apps instead.

Vue8

IE8

Nero

Sculptris

If you have no kids, SO, or much of a life, you can buy art stuff :p
