Just because the last category of folk isn't talking as much doesn't mean the others aren't humming along with unabated enthusiasm. :D

  I'll agree with this, if only because I'm one of them.  I have several modeling projects going, which will exploit/showcase new Poser features.  And I've been working on hardware quite a bit.  I've scrounged up six used (dual H/T hex-core) server blades (Dell C1100s) and two surplus HP xw6600s, and they're networked together as a personal render farm.  They have both Vue's RenderCow and Poser Pro's Queue Manager installed on them.       I added the core count (in red) for each blade to the attached screen snip.  That's a lot of horsepower for Posering!  Galadriel is noticeably missing;  she's scattered in parts on the workbench.  Laptop Valkyrie is online, but she's not rendering;  I'm just surfing the interwebs with her.  Her two cores and eight GB wouldn't be able to keep up with the big girls.
