Actually, a pretty reasonable review. He didn't go out of his way to bash the prog, but he didn't gloss over short comings or drool over it in a sales pitch thinly disguised as a review. Looks like within the time normally alloted for reviewing on a monthly, he gave it an adequate going over, good and bad features. This part though: "This inadequacy is representative of all that's wrong about Poser 5. The program has many fantastic new features, but they've only been implemented in an introductory kind of way, and it's really easy to see how each feature could have been improved or made easier to use. Curious just failed to dot the 'i's and cross the 't's, and it's frustrating to think what could have been." And the part on the Pro-Pack integration is going to be telling for ComputerArt's target audience. A lot of them are C4D, Lightwave, Max, and other pro-app users, and they'll read it, and probably pass and go to something that integrates with their pet apps.

"I am a good person now and it feels... well, pretty much the same as I felt before (except that the headaches have gone away now that I'm not wearing control top pantyhose on my head anymore)"
