Hi, total poser newbie here (this is my first post). Actually new to computer graphics although have made my living blowing glass and making things with my hands for most of my adult life (and I'm old enough to have voted for Carter!). I really appreciate everybody who has provided free stuff. I've bought my first characters (from a vendor who provides freestuff), and looking forward to upgrading from Poser 3 soon. Without the wealth of free stuff out there I would never had a desire to "move up" and spend my hard earned money on what for me now is a hobby. Since I am used to making things for money I might at some point offer, something for sale (to help pay for my hobby), but I'll definitely be offering up lots of freebies first (to trick people into liking me) - then again I might not ever offer something for sale. I have to say that except for the swearing (my problem, not anyone elses) I've really enjoyed reading this thread (and confirming what I thought, which is that this is a pretty nice "community" of talented people). Thanks again go out to anyone who has, does, or will offer freebies. May God bless you in all aspects of your lives! BobbyMike aka Michael Walters
