By the way...just so there are no doubts about my intent.... I was called the "crankiest old man I have ever met", by my niece.... I also rah rah as loud and as much as boo hiss..depends on what side of the bed I roll out on....and now in this case...the direction of messages concerning P5.... So far...I'm disappointed, but I'll see what hell springs forth when I load my copy in a couple of days.... STAND BY.... until then, I should withold judgement....however, it has now been discovered that certain elements have been omitted in the character morphs....that does not bode well in my eyes. I had made a commitment and promise to myself about 2 years ago to never buy a product when it first rolls off the assembly line. I've been burned a bunch of times by the bugs in the newly released software...then of course the months wait to get a patch out to even make the stuff functional...in the meantime the software is non-functional, sitting as limp as you know what---useless. I took the new Poser 5 features to heart...they just looked so great....and went against my better judgement and bought the product on day 1 of pre-release...I'm still praying that the problems noted so far are, for the most part anomilies, and that my copy will work just as I thought it would.

Humankind has not woven the web of life. We are but one thread within it.
Whatever we do to the web, we do to ourselves. All things are bound together.
