3. CL accepted pre-order funds before the product shipped; despite the precedent by most companies of withholding payment until the product is shipped; causing users to question their financial stability, which proved to be unstable per admission by CL.<< I agree with this one and I was surprised there was little comment about this when everyone was pre-ordering. I inquired with CL about this and never got a response. By the way, very well-written argument. My laptop has 512MB memory (the max for this system) and 1GHz processor (P3), and Poser5 crashes every time I try to load it. My desktop (also a P3) runs it fine when it wants to, but I have the problem of the layout being set for someone who has a very large monitor and the tools are off the screen. If I set the screen resolution to 1024x768, everything is too small on my monitor. I know this was a problem with the patch (which I don't have), but it was a problem with my original Poser5. I don't have the patch loaded because my modem speeds are too slow and I'm waiting for CL to send it to me on CD. I've contacted CL twice by email regarding this supposed "getting the patch on CD" if you can't download it. I've yet to hear a response from either of my emails which makes me wonder if they got them. Terrible customer service. Did they fire everyone after this release? I've gone back to Poser4 since it runs just fine on my system, and the Poser5 content works okay with it. I only bought Poser5 because I was especially interested in the Face Room, but found its comparable to that piece of crap that MetaCreations put out: Canoma! I'll stick with Poser4. If they concentrated more on enhancing 4 instead of making 5 more complicated, I think they would have fewer complaints.
