Yep - this page linked earlier
http://www.book.artbeeweb.nl/?p=526

shows who owned it when up to when Smith Micro bought it

Poser 1 1995 Fractal Design
Poser 2 1996 Fractal Design

I didn't remember owning Poser 1 but must have cause I paid $9.50 for an upgrade to Poser 2
YIKES!!

I think I skipped over 3 and 4  (1998 and 1999 from MetaCreations) as well as ProPack
(AKA PoserPro) which was in 2000 from Curious Labs

Version 5 (also Curious Labs) was in 2003

Then e-Frontier bought it and produced versions 6 (2005),  7 (2006)

Smith Micro took it over and put out Poser 8 in 2009 I think and somewhere in there was a version of Poser Pro (2010?)

Then Poser 9 and Poser Pro 2012 (in 2011)
