Luckily, I bought Poser 5 recently, and so far it hasn't disappointed me,
possibly because it's already all patched-up.  I had just as many problems
with Poser 4.  But I haven't used it extensively.

I think the big difference with time-tables is just that in the business
world, delaying the release can cost a company dearly.  As someone who
writes software for a living, and having had to push back a lot of dates,
it's never a pleasant experience to explain to management "why".  And here I
am posting to the newsgroup...  (shhhh)
