I am currently shopping for parts for a new computer. (I dont need everything, but I need some key components) My 128Mb P-233 (yes Pentium, not II, III, or IV) just wont cut it anymore. One of the driving factors is Photoshop 7 and the announcement of Poser 5. Poser is growing up, so must we. I can imagine there was not quite a little debate on what to with Poser when it was saved and even more debate on what to do, move forward(Version 5) or work on a stop gap that would be less profitable and be absorbed in the next version (a 4.5 patch say). Avatar Lab (Ok. I'll give you that one.) ProPack was a good move. (I could not afford it at the time, see above comments on still working on a P-233 ;) ) Poser 3 does not have the issues you complain about, would you go backwards? (I did not think so). Buck up trooper and let's see what the future holds.
