Boy.....did that ever make me feel good!!! Thanks HeWhoWatches! You have summed up most of my feelings exactly :) Although I do have to admit a great love for XP Pro and Vue d'Esprit:) And now that I have a firewall and my ISP screens for spam, I can't bitch as much....but I do know the feelings!!!! Been there....done that!!! I found working in Poser 5 only on days when the sun shines helps :) Did anyone ever explain what a "MAC" is??? :) If all else fails, get a cat....they don't give a crap how ticked off you are and will run puurrrfectly with just a scratch of the chin or pet of the head! :) They also provide a great "therapuetic retreat".
