I don't really know where you might find Poser 1, Marv, it will probably be difficult.  I would guess that being from that time period it was only released on floppy diskette (could be wrong of course), and not many copies have survived.

I didn't get into Poser until version 4, but there definitely was a version 2.  For some reason not that long ago I was reading an article somewhere about the history of Poser and that doofus at Metacreations who thought it was a good idea to sell off all the IPs that made money for his company so he could invest in the tech stockmarket bubble just as it was about to crash. The article was talking about how Poser was originally designed so pen/pencil artists could make humanoid figures to trace on paper, but the response was so great and the users so inventive that they rapidly expanded the capabilities of the program.  Unfortunately I don't know where I was reading all that as it was very interesting, but according to [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poser]wikipedia Poser 1.0 was released in 1995, Poser 2.0 in 1996, and Poser 3.0 in 1998.

Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.
