We had Poser 4 at work to try making our own animations for use in PowerPoint and on our televised training broadcasts.  I got Poser 4 Pro cheap for home and Vicki 1 started my fall into the DAZ rabbit hole.  My earliest purchase here is from December 2001.  I think I have an autographed copy of either Poser 5 or 6 for being one of the first 100 purchasers.  I have all the DAZ figures up through the disastrous DSON Genesis 1.  I hate DAZ Studio because I did not like the interface on the early versions and quit trying after they had add ons you had to pay for.  My two favorite things about Poser are dynamic hair and clothing so I'm sticking with Poser. 

I'm happy to say that I was smart enough to buy a lifetime membership to PoserWorld when I first started using Poser.  It seemed like a good deal at the time and has turned out to be a fantastic deal over the years. 

I'm also a sucker for free content and I think I've bought about every new figure that has come out over the years (and then quit using them when they had no skin, hair or clothes available).  I lost a lot of Poser content about five years ago when a virus forced us to reformat our hard drive.  I now have an external drive with 807 gigs of Poser content plus whatever is installed on my hard drive with Poser Pro 2012 and 2014.

Unfortunately, I cannot work anymore because I have nerve damage in both hands with Carpal Tunnel disease.  Using Poser with Dragon NaturallySpeaking and Windows 8.1 and a touch screen monitor is challenging but doable.  If there's a keyboard shortcut, you can write a command with Dragon Pro to do it verbally.   I'm definitely learning patience.  I'm between having no pay because I can't work and waiting for my disability retirement to be approved so I can't support Dawn like I want to.  I hope she hangs in there until I have money again.
