As usual, we who live in Europe get the raw end of the deal! It seems strange too, since CL is owned by EGISYS which is based in Germany. I mean, afterall, how much extra would it cost to hire a transport company to put a few thousand copies of Poser 5 on a plane headed for Europe? What would it add to the price when shipped in bulk?.... peanuts! I can't imagine many folks objecting to a small surcharge for the opportunity of getting P5 almost as fast as our American friends! How about it Steve? It's not too late!
