Questor, again we'll disagree, in a civil manner. I haven't had a need or desire to mess with Posette or Dork since getting Millennium figures. I got tired long ago of all the frailties of the P4 bodies twisting and breaking each time I tried to use a "conservative pose," etc. The Millennium Figures have a wealth of resources to the point where I never wish I had something for them that P4 figures have. In fact, since I got the Millennium figures, half of my collection of Poser-related CD's went into a bottom drawer where it remains unused, and uninstalled. I do believe we'll see a whole new batch of stuff in Poser 5 itself which could well eliminate the need for things like programs that duplicate or mimic a figure's morphs. It also appears we won't need to buy separate hair just to make our figures look realistic, etc. It also appears the default Poser 5 figures might be as good or better quality than the current Millennium figures. I don't see a need to buy anything more for the current version of Poser, since I long ago reached the point where I just couldn't keep up with what I already had. That's another reason I dumped my P4-related stuff.. Just too much. Poser couldn't handle all that stuff. I don't care if Poser 5 doesn't arrive for several months. I can easily just use what I have and never miss anything. The only way this current concern about morphing clothes affects me now is if I wanted to distribute "Tailored clothes." I won't. If I need clothes to fit a particular figure, I already have Tailor, and I have the new Michael Morphing Clothing pack. As for Mover, I've experienced less than 5 instances where Mover has been necessary for me. Most of those were Free Stuff items. I can't recall one commercial product I've bought that required Mover. But then I'm absent-minded too. I sympathize with your situation in England. I'd hate to pay all those extra expenses. Frankly I doubt I'd ever see Poser here in Maine (USA). In so many ways this is still a pretty "backwards" state. Heck, we don't even have computer user's groups here, and it appears I'm probably the only Poser user in Maine... So when the time comes I'll do an online purchase.
