Personally, I'd be plenty torqued off to find out that the Preorder Poser 5 sales "special" wasn't so special only 8 weeks after release. This is why I don't preorder things. To many ways for a user to get burned... or unwittingly pay to be part of a beta test project to fix the darn thing. Nope. I'd rather hold on to my money, avoid having myself and money become a guinea pig for some company and observe the outcome and performance of that program at a safe distance. :o) I am willing to bet that many of CL's customers will think twice before ever "PreOrdering" a product from that company ever again. Of course, PT BARNUM said it best (and seemed to be well adopted by looking in the Beta Test Forum): "There's a sucker born every minute". Jack
