Friends, With a heavy heart, I find I must take my leave of this community. The reasons are financial in nature. Over the last year my 'real world' business has been failing. It's now obvious that I can no longer deceive myself into thinking that it will pick up. The last couple of months have particularly bad and I've even had to borrow money to pay my rent and utilities. The result of these downturns is that I can no longer afford to pay for my virtual server site and the subscription for the bushi3d.com URL. As such, both will be going away the middle of next month. The eviction process on my apartment will soon start so it seems that I will be out on the street in the next week or so. With the economy the way it is right now and the massive lay-offs of tech workers, it's going to be some time before I'll be gainfully employed again. This gray cloud has no silver lining. Let me say thanks for a very interesting 3+ years. It's been a blast being involved in pushing this program to the limit with such a group of people as the Poser community. At this point, it doesn't look like I'll be back this way for quite awhile, if ever, so everyone take care. Yours, C. Payton aka bushi
