I admit it...I don't know what it means.

I received my copy of the excellent IFX today and read the review of Poser 8. It has a great new CMS don't you know? You do? Am I now so old and farty that I need all acronyms to be explained?

I Googled and found Content Management System - seems appropriate. Is this such a common phrase in digital arts that it doesn't need explaining just once?

Hehe, that's why Google exists. But seriously, the new CMS looks great.

I thought that was why sub-editors exist.

There's also an improved GUI and enhanced OpenGL. Those I did know.

A nightmarish view of a future with fingerprints all over my nice clean screen 

Poser 8 also has some of the weirdest looking "realistic" human figures in the world. They seem a step backwards compared to the previous lot.

Honestly Joe I think sometimes people just like to abbreviate things because they think it's cool...not necessarily because the abbreviation is in common use. While Content Management System is a term I have seen used before....it's not one I would expect to be abbreviated.

Agreed. It's almost asking everyone to know what ERP is.
