Got my first computer after I got knock off a scafold and toasted my back. Had to find something to do that didn't involve moving around to much. Got internet set up and started surfing.

 First, NASA, but then I was watching reruns of ReBoot. So started surfing about how that was done, which led to my cat jumping on the keyboard and next thing I was looking at a bunch of art done with Bryce 4 and a link to the demo. From there I found R'sity. That led to all the forums here and Poser forum. That led me to Curious Labs and DAZ.

I tried the poser 4 demo. I built a swimming pool with a diving board out of the primitives. I then made the clothed Dork, remember it's a demo, and made him dive into the pool. I even figured out how to use the wave magnet to get a ripple effect. That was it. I was hooked. I made my first ever animation with a softwre demo that I had no idea of what I was doing. How cool is that.

Daz had a sale of Poser 4 with some extra disks of content and a $20 voucher that I spent on upgrading V1 to V2. I still have those disks sitting in the drawer beside me. LOL.

I Use PP2010 mostly now with Modo, Vue8 infinity and it looks like Messiah is now in that pipeline.

What's funny is I was doing a ReBoot marathon this week to remember why and how I got started. Then this thread happens.
