Yes, Poser 5 was an excellent investment. For $350.00, I got a pretty box to to put on my shelf next to my Photoshop box. Whenever I want, I get to read all the things Poser 5 will probably, at some point do (working Face Room, working Contest Paradise, FireFly render, etc.) And, for my investment of $350, I get to be one of the elite thousands that got to beta-test the product. I feel honored that the company would select me, a "nobody" to let them test their product.
