So basically, Joel, for an upgrade of Foundation, you would pay the
same price as a full license of Poser, and just a little more than a
license of trueSpace? Is that right, Joel? Funny how people see
things. Nero is about 120$ I think....

Oh and if you wait for bugs to get fixed, think again. That's the
price to pay when you purchase such a complex product that get's
upgraded every 10 months.


Cheers
Bernard
