I've got a question. I'm seriously contemplating buying Poser, (I've got version 2, functional but no help is available) but I'm wondering if I should wait for v5. I've scanned the topics here on the forums, esp. "Poser 5 Multithreaded ?", "False Alarm On Poser 5 Handbook", and "Poser Blight" and gotten the impression that Curious Labs flat can't give any solid release dates for Poser 5, not even any definite rumors. So, I won't ask about that.

What I AM going to ask, is, what is your opinion on a user (such as myself) waiting for the eventual relase? I ask out of concern for support- not so much tech support from Curious Labs, but from communities like this one. It's been my experience that once the new version comes out, the old version gets (basically) dropped like a hot potato. (Not that I'm implying anything directly about you good people.)

I'm sure you can understand the heart behind the question, it's no fun being left behind just when you think you've caught up with the pack. So, simply put, with the information (or lack thereof) you have now, should I try to "join the pack" now, or wait?
