He's been informed that most people here are older than he is, but he's still ranting about the "younger generation." ?

Smith Micro had some revenue issues, but they had nothing to do with Poser. Graphics in general was a drop in the bucket compared to their other divisions. They took a bath on their wireless/mobile stuff, which is massive compared to Poser.

Exactly right. The IT division had a couple of very poor years. Graphics was doing fine. But being that SM was in a world of hurt at the time they had to cut expenses. The entire graphics team was let go, in favor of using developers where labor was cheaper. As a result, not much was done with Poser from the time that the original team was let go to the time that Bondware acquired it and that was why sales were dropping. Three years passed before Bondware took it over, and Poser sales were reduced to barely anything because nothing was being done to it.

Facts matter.
