Melanie, you say "There are times like this when I wish MetaCreations hadn't abandoned Poser, Bryce, Ray Dream Studio, Kai's Power Tools, etc. They didn't treat their paying customers as if they were all potential pirates." No, they just treated us like we didn't count AT ALL. They abandonded us, not the other way around. Thanks goodness that companies like CL and Corel brought back to life some of the best 3D programs around. I sure would hate to fork over thousands for 3D Studio or Lightwave. There is no way I could afford those programs. I have my order in for Poser 5 and I have no problem with registering the program. Peggy
