I really appreciate how it can feel like we're holding back because there's a problem, but I assure you that the reason is timing. There will inevitably be hundreds of questions that will come roilling into our email boxes in a deluge, the moment we go live with the full picture. When we choose to go live is really critical. And honestly, we don't have anyone that can deal with that magnitude of info requests until next week. The person that is handling almost all that information (Tori the angel) is currently managing the external beta program, a handful unto itself, the re-do of our website, privacy license issues, eula issues, product management support, and as well as day to day sales and customer support issues. She will be prepared to address the mail next week, once the website goes live, but the most important step we can take to making her efforts effective to to have as much of the information as we can in one concise location. The photo above shows pretty much the full-time core team that delivers Poser. There are a few critical folks in Ireland, another another couple of engineers in Germany, and the external Poser community members helping out with content development. Everyone is doing multiple jobs to put this together, and we have to really careful to not have an avalanche get in anyone's way. About system requirements- Are you going to need a top of line machine to run P5? No, something from the last two years will likely do just fine. Anything exotic like dual processors or special cards? No, but Poser always likes lots of RAM, especially with a few hi-res figures and a couple of 3000x3000 pixel texture maps.... (btw, each 3000x3000 pixel map eats up about 100 meg of RAM!) Bottomline- Are you going to want fastest machine you can get? I sure would.
