No I deleted it after an hour of working on it. I get sort of dispondent at times. Some times it seems such a waste trying to get DAZ to improve, fix things, and not be so incompatent.

My father was a marine corp drill instructor, I wasn't rased so much as drilled. What I learned was the only way to fix a problem is to stay at it till it's fixed. Dropping a bug report then going on your merry way does not solve issues. Especially when dealing with DAZ. You have to be up in DAZ's face constently not only to get them to fix something, but to even to get them to aknowledge there is an issue.

As in DAZ wont acknowledge the probablity that G1 is out of production. I think we have enough lacking in evedince of it being worked on to prove this. But at DAZ mods will pull a post rather then argue that it is, or verify it isn't. Proof DAZ depends on keeping customers ignorent. 

A couple of things DAZ hasn't realized yet is, most people that are in to genesis and Studio have already bought most of the G1 content and have moved on to G2F; and impatiently waiting for G2M. And the over pricing of C8.5 cost them secondary sales of G1 content to carraraests just getting in to genesis.

DAZ is so busy counting the bit of money they made off the over pricing of C8.5, they missing out on a lot of sales to carraraests outfitting a new figure. I spent $70 on morphs to use on G1 just for the C8.5 beta. I still wanted the mil4 shapes and creature creator morphs. No use to me now. I wanted to get the similar morphs for G2F, ain't happening now. So for me DAZ over priced them selves right out of a better profit. DAZ would have made more off me outfiting G1 and G2F, then the profit they would have made off me buying the over priced C8.5.

I'm really worried about Andy, I sincerly hope nothing tragic has happened.
