Ok, I guess I DO need better glasses then :).

For those that wanna hear it - no, Poser will never die. It's here to stay.

Also for those that wanna hear it - nothing is forever. Take your pick. Those that want to will adhere to one set of beliefs, Others will cling to another set of beliefs. This topic is just as useless as usual.

Go out on a limb - use both. It costs you nothing to at least try the one. Whichever one you choose (or both), it's the right one. For you. That's what the whole convo boils down to really. Why people seem to think they have to stick with the one is beyond me. Sure, a lot of us are getting long in the tooth and learning something new can be daunting, but it keeps the mind sharp ;). I must have tried DS at least 30 times before it clicked. It took me a whole year to wrap my mind around Poser 4 and that was 20 years ago. I'm not abandoning either one. At least you'll have at least one to fall back on should the other go the way of the dinosaur.
