Cliff, Why, aren't we prescient? I just found my Prismacolors yesterday!!! Complete sets with more than a hundred sharp clean permanent colors. :) The bad thing about permanent media is that there is no undo button. The good thing is that 500 years later pencil work can still be appreciated... as opposed to 10-year-old digital art sitting in the boxes of floppies on the shelf. DAZ|Studio requires OS 10.2 or higher to run. OS 9 users don't even get a chance. I finally installed the copy of 10.1 I had on hand... only to discover that it wasn't good enough. I wasn't going to spend money to upgrade the OS further just to test alpha software. Carolly
