Hi mr. kupa :) Because you're here,(isn't that grammatically incorrect to start a sentence with that word?), I have to surmise you managed to hold off the bill collectors, and get fed.... however, as much as I love you guys...and think Poser is just wonderful, and Poser 5 WILL become a great application...i truly am a bit POd that you guys released this in the shape it is in, especially now that I know you guys knew about some of the bugs, which I felt hard to believe you didn't anyway..considering the extent to which they have become apparent. Its great you're going to fix them, but I think you telling us that is a bit underwhelming...I would expect you to fix it and pretty darn fast......it shouldn't have happened in the first place..you should be happy a bunch of us haven't returned this product. I think it has caused a few folks to hold back on purchasing it as it is. You couldn't get a bit of a loan or something to see it through to a proper completion? You probably could have taken up a collection from all us and saved the day..we're all such dedicated customers...I'm serious here...I'm sure we could have become investors in your venture, and would have been happy with a strong, useable product straight away as a return on our capital. Here's a bit of my favorite rant--- In my opinion, there are too many people willing to accept software in all sorts of non-working conditions...ACCEPT IT!!! What is wrong with these people? I bet you wouldn't accept a product that didn't work correctly, none of you would...in fact you would return it rather than wait weeks for a fix, while your hard earned money sits idly, not accomplishing anything but acting as a placeholder until the thing is repaired. I return the stuff in a heartbeat...I have no acceptance of sub-par quality and performance...its out the door and I look elsewhere...I'm a lost customer.....oh well, only 1, the stupid salesman says....oh, another one, the store manager says...as all of a sudden stores are closing all around because the place ain't making so much money any more.... -------------------------------------------------- Now that all sounds pretty darn harsh, and I must have real large conjagas to say this here, or maybe a bit suicidal,...but its how I feel. I'm sure I'll also feel the wrath and get flamed so badly here that my monitor will catch fire, probably get booted right out of Renderosity...that's fine...I probably deserve it for being so open with my thoughts...god forbid we should voice our opinion..even when you know you're going to catch flak... Anyway.... Having gotten that off my chest, (another grammatical error), I still have Poser 5 on my hard drive...why???? Because I know you're a man of your word...Steve Cooper..and I truly love Poser..even P5 with its problems. I have faith in your company...I've been a Poser user since verison 1.0...I know you'll make it all better, and we'll live happily ever after, just like, just like...Romeo and Juliet..or some such... My wife, however, isn't all that happy---she had to clean the blood from my keyboard and pick up the broken shelf, because I hit it so hard, I couldn't open my hands....but that's ok...we have to suffer a bit to really appreciate the product later on...just think how boring it would be to just install this thing and use it right out of the box with no hassles. The fixed product will be such a pleasure to use...it will be orgasmic. OK...I'm ready to take the heat.
