Hah, best to let the piggbank grow until it has £50 notes coming out of it's arse!
It's better in your piggybank than in the pocket of incompetent corporations that piss on customer loyalty ;-)
@Baggins
You should dig into Blender's nodes as well, it's a popular passtime judging by the epic amount of blender tutorials out there lately. It's got lots of lovely nodes, sure to fill a Baggins with delight, and naturally, if it doesn't work how you want, you don't have to get frustrated, you're free to fix it yourself, no hidden corporate nasties in Blender, the code is freely available.
Being permanently free also means you get a free copy before you make thousands of awesome Blender tutorials. And lets face it, by the time SM ditches Poser due to lack of profit, most users will be using Blender in conjunction with MakeHuman anyway. Apart from the work you do here, helping people, you're wasted on Poser, people are coding for free (or selling) plugins for Blender now - and I don't see any of them complaining.
Sorry Baggins, but times are changing (and for the better if you know where to look for it). The changes don't mean an end to capitalism as some people say, it just means that the sources have changed. The days of the rich guys having a head-start in life over the poor guys, are dead now, and it's all thanks to stuff like Blender. No one has to stack shelves in order to own overpriced state-of-the-art 3D software anymore - they simply download Blender.
Here you go, ladies and gentlemen, here's a website where they want to pay talented Blender Professionals for their skills:

What was that, you didn't believe me when I said that Blender will eventually become industry standard, so it's Blender skills people will be looking for?
Ah well, can't say I never told you, you should listen to pumeco, he's almost always right!
Blender - The only 3D program you need, both for your hobby or a professional and competitive career in 3D graphics.
GIMP - The only 2D program you need to achieve anything in 2D graphics.
Debian - The only OS you need if you don't want to be held ransome in the future by data stolen from you by a datamining corporations.
Sorry ... I'm rambling again ... but couldn't resist after seeing Baggins post (but mine is also toungue in cheek, so relax) - lol
