Am I the only one here who has to fight off the kids to get any time with poser? Do your kids love poser as much as you? My kids have given me a great long list of things they want to do with poser including their own comic. Rob

ps I've got 2 kids 9 & 13 yrs old who are also demanding a pc so they can have poser all the time. Rob

Not quite got THAT problem. Eldest daughter (15) comes in when I am on poser, looks over my shoulder and says 'ugh', 'hmph' or some other uninteligable noise which passes for words with teenagers. Youngest daughter (11) comes in, leans on my shoulder and makes encourageing remarks before wandering off twisting her forefinger in the vicinity of her temple. 'Sigh' No, I'm afraid my kids are much too interested in music, makeup and mind-numbing computer games to even think about doing anything creative. Jack

I have to take a number and stand in line to get quality "Poser" time! My oldest (19) caught me working on an image and since the first "Hey! Can I try that?" between him and my daughter (15) I just gaze at my 'puter from afar...sigh... Always save your PZ3 files before you go to the bathroom!!! The kids will swipe your seat and say sheepishly upon your return, "I was just looking at the new clothes for Vickie..." Must build second PC...... ;-)

Nah...do what we did: Upgrade your own comp to something new and
shiny (or at least new to you and an upgrade), then give them the
old one >^_^

They start young! My wee'un (2 1/2) came out of the bath last night and saw me putting together an interior scene with primitives and door props. "Daddy make house!", he says, and was instantly all over me. I had to redecorate it in neon colours for his entertainment. Bill

My daughter is nine and we did was Momcat suggested: bought us a new puter and gave the old one (haha...old one...1 GHz, 60 GB harddrive, DVD etc... ) to her. She loves Avatar Lab at the moment and I promised to give her Poser4 as soon as I have P5 :-).

I wouldn't mind my kids moving up to Poser from RollerCoaster Tycoon and The Sims ..... EXCEPT that they seem to pick it up so much faster and easier than me...@#$%&%#!! Beav

My son is starting out on it. He is wanting to make comic characters. When I get P5 I am going to let him have my P4. Of course he will gripe 'cause he will want P5 as well... =P

My daughter (she's 11) and I started to work on illustrations for her book which she is writing now. She loves to read and to write stories of her own. So we started to make her characters with Poser. When her writing and the illustrations are done we'll take the book to a binder. :)

I donated an elderly pc to my grandkids, they still thank granma has better programmes, but don't have the power to run them, so when they visit its " Granma can we use tyour puter" Even the new one at 2 years old sits on daddies lap and presses buttons.

Thank you, Momcat. :) It's fun to share your passions with your children and to participate in theirs. :)
