I also wanted to tell you to keep an eye out for special freebies. I paid for Poser 4, but got Poser 5 free, when Content Paradise was giving it away. I also got Cararan 5 Pro for free, with the purchase of a magazine. Okay, so it wasn't really free. It cost me about $16. Check all the forums, and keep your eyes open, and you will find some really good deals.
