Are you sure you aren't Gollum in disguise? My precccccioooooouuuuuussssss. :-)

Actually, BSD based or Linux based (I've heard them both) once the OS X version is up and running it should be a relatively trivial matter to toss out Unix and Linux versions should CL be so inclined. (Part of me hopes they are. :) ) And those of us in the Linux community should get used to the fact that quality software does cost some coinage. As wonderful as The GIMP is, it ain't Photoshop. :-) For now I'll keep an XP partition to run Poser 5 in, but only cause I'm drooling helplessly waiting for it to come out. (And Dave So thinks he's the only excited one. :) )

...gasps and reaches for more oxygen. :-)

Thanks, Steve

With all this talk about duct tape perhaps someone should wip up a Red Green character with P5. :-) ttfn John

With respect to the Mac version, perhaps Mac users will have to get ready for a likelyhood that P5 will run on OS X only. Remember, this is the platform now and it's significanlty different from the Mac OS's that came before. The one thing that it's likely to do, once it comes out, is that it may mean CL will release a Linux version (OS X is, I believe, based on Debian Linux) if the economics make sense which will broaden the audience for Poser. (You'd be surprised how many people are running Poser on WINE. :) ) ttfn John
