When I am working with Poser (SR3 - havn't got SR4 yet, waiting to see..) or any other program that doesn't need to use the net for that matter, I just unplug the net..:-)) (No ZA popups, no delays, no probs) Mind U, I'm a home user, not a pro in somewhere where all machines have to be online 24/7, so I can do it..
