I had poser when it was own by curious labs.  At the time it frustrated me because all the renders looked really crappy.  I gave up and came back to Poser with Poser 6 and broke down and purchased better models instead of using what came with Poser back then.  Now I'm addicted and I've made both Daz3D and Renderosity richer.   My wishlist has a total of $15,631 worth of models on the list.   I figure my bank account will be safe, so long as my mind is straight.
