Poser has transitioned from Fractal Design to MetaCreations, and now to Curious Labs. If need be, I'm sure it would do it again. What other graphics program has a community built around it like this one? Poser isn't going to go away. I also think Steve Cooper and company are way too passionate about the product to leave the end users without an unlock if they were forced to drop out of the picture. All this concern over having to reformat your hard drive has gotten rediculous. Reformat it, and if you've passed your limit, you can run it for seven days while you send them an e-mail and say "Hey, it's me, your customer, I want to unlock my software," and I'm sure you'll get a new code. Like any other company, CL wants to help and serve the people who buy the product. All of your bitching and demanding resposes would probably get more attention if you WERE a customer, but since you haven't bought Poser 5 from them, they have no obliagtion to you. Telling us all to go fuck ourselves probably didn't help either.
