I couldn't help but comment about this - I have been seeing quite a bit of
excellent software bundled with magazines these days - but I think the
license is "You must buy the magazine to use the software." The magazine
editors must make a deal with the software companies and the magazine pays
an amount to the company and they allow, more often than not, an obsolete
version of the software to be on the magazine CD coverdisk.


I think this is a great idea, I have got full versions of the following
software off the front of magazines: (I use Windoze)

Truespace 1.0 (You can download this off the net at http://pcplus.co.uk )
Truespace 3 S/E (notice the S/E - it is a crippled version but still
interesting for animation. Inverse Kinematics and physical simulations)
Amapi 3D V4.1 (I found the interface frustrating - almost as frustrating as
Blender hehehe)
Borland Delphi Standard V3.0 (I like Pascal!)
Borland C++ Builder V?? (C++ makes me crosseyed!)

Now I'm downloading Poser 3 from your link - I might be breaking the law!
What was the name of the magazine, and the issue number so I can buy a copy?

Just so I can sleep at night......
