Greybro, I'm not going to flame you... just express disappointment at your less-than-subtle attempt at hitting two targets with one cheap and poorly-guided shot. Paul has already fully explained the purpose of his interview and the information he had on hand at the time of the interview in another thread here and he has alluded to it a couple of other times... which I feel sure that you have read since you are so interested in his interview. I'm also confident that you are aware that lead time is required for publication since that is common knowledge in the graphics business. After all the art and text has been acquired and edited and laid out, it goes to the printers. Most printers want 6-8 weeks, but they all require some time for preparing plates, inking, printing, drying, binding, and boxing up. The magazine was available at DragonCon... BEFORE Poser 5 shipped and the nature and extent of the bugs became known. You therefore insinuate that Paul possesses ESP of such refinement that he can discern and conceal software bugs. If this were to be true, he'd either be gibberingly insane from the revealed horrors or fantasically wealthy from flipping IPOs of companies which don't have anything to hide. Poser 4 had a series of 9(?) patches before it became as reliable a workhorse as it is (and it still pulls a surprise or two out of the aether). Poser 5 is a lot more complicated and CuriousLabs has already started what is likely to be a series of patches. Paul and I have crossed words in the past, so you needn't think we are buddies or anything. I do respect his mind, and his integrity.... and he hasn't started gibbering. ;^) And if you don't like flattering reviews.... well, I don't have P5 yet, but I know what I saw at the Poser Party here, and the two times I've been down at CuriousLabs. I saw screen after screen with neat tools. I also tend to be an optimist. When presented with a product as nifty as this, I'm not going to whine that it doesn't make breakfast, I'm going to wonder what else I can "clothify", what happens if this is invisible when this node is connected. Maybe I won't be the next Kozaburo or Kisiel but I intend to push things... ...So it is not the review, it is the point of view which matters ultimately. Carolly
