What follows is an email that I sent to support@LIPSinc.com today concerning their Mimic product: I just received your product from JourneyEd, an education software reseller. I have an Apple Macintosh iBook and run version 4 of Connectix's Virtual PC with Windows 98. I have both a registered copy of Poser 4 for Windows and Macintosh. After I installed Mimic under Virtual PC (because your company does not market Mimic for Macintosh) a requestor dialog box popped up saying to insert the original CD-ROM and restart the application. I've done this half a dozen times with the same result - the Mimic program does not run at all. I realize that you have instituted a copy protection scheme on the CD to protect your intellectual property, but it is self-defeating in this situation. Your product retails for $195US, but it is an absolute waste of money for those who want to use your program under Virtual PC. I strongly suggest that, if you do not have a workaround, your web site should state your product will NOT work with Virtual PC on the Macintosh. Had anything been on your site to that effect, I would not have squandered my education budget on your useless product. Copies of this letter will be posted in the open forums for Poser at Renderosity.com and 3DCommune.com to inform other Macintosh Poser community members. I am looking forward to your soonest reply.
