Carolly, you're a good writer, and I like the idea of an evoloving "Notes for Newbies" document. It would be cool to see such a thing posted to the Web somewhere for general reference. As a nerdy word of advice, Windows users might want to avoid keeping large folders and lots of files on the desktop ... they tend to slow the OS down. However, putting folders on the root drive with a link on the desktop, which looks and basically acts that same anyway, won't have any negative effect. I have three Poser-related link-folders on my WinXP desktop, one for recent downloads, one for installed files (periodically gets burned to disc, then cleared out,) and one for the Poser folder itself.
