I have a mind to wait for a while. If i start downloading gigs and gigs of updates every few days, my service provider will no doubt have a notion that i am 'ripping movies'.

Yes, a brief synopsis of the patches and bug fixes with each update would be reassuring instead of leaning on the side of assumption and blind faith. A call for a changelog is needed.

..And then perhaps an internal Poser UV mapping program within update number .989?..
