well on to my 2 cents.... ;-) I am really looking forward to Poser 5, however I do not agree with CL's price hike. I don't care if it does grow hair, you always add new features in an upgrade, otherwise why are you upgrading? This is not a small price jump but a HUGE one. In the MC days Poser 4 came on a hybrid cd with both windows and Mac versions. Now they are seperating them, which is not good in my opinion. And they are releasing them stagerd, saying to the Mac users that they don't give a patoot about their business enough so they will release simeltainious. The Price is way too high, Poser 4 had a retail of $169-199. So this is a 175% increase. CL raised the price when they took it over as it was. The upgrade price had better be spectacular! Becasue at $550 they have taken themselves out of the low-priced market and entered the mid-high priced market. Not a good move as they do not offer what the high end players do. PAGZone
