I for one have been impressed by what appears to be a new strategy. We got a fine looking "LE" version of a gorilla, and for about $6 we got the full-featured version. Some of us got $5 off a purchase in return for filling out a survey. We had a 30% off sale that's been extended another week. DAZ has provided some great freebies, such as Stephanie, the gorilla, lo-res versions of some characters. And DAZ is hosting some excellent freebies in their archives that we might not have been able to otherwise obtain. One great example is all the wonderful stuff Questor made! Just remember that many artists are unable to provide freebies any longer due to the high cost of web hosting. Yes, DAZ is a business. Yes, I had a "few issues" with them myself. When you look at the whole picture, DAZ remains an excellent company that is very receptive to our needs, desires and communications. But that's just my Not So Humble Opinion. I also respect your opinions. Ron
