the pricing for the new releases, especially pre-release pricing starting on 8/17 is very attractive, even to go from Poser 8 to Pro 2012.

I might jump to the big league this time ...but even 9 at $79 pre-release upgrade pricing is a no brainer

Humankind has not woven the web of life. We are but one thread within it.
Whatever we do to the web, we do to ourselves. All things are bound together.
All things connect......Chief Seattle, 1854
