hmmm..maybe I've been a victim of my own ignorance..I wasn't going to point any fingers..;) but here's what I've tried so far..and the results..
sneakers from Freestuff- got a left..no right..(?)
Corearts jacket..never seemed to show up..I'm wondering if the prescence of a .png and no .rsr indicates it's for Poser 5?
MWA..uh..the shirt and pants turn parts of him different colors (it's why the bartender is light blue in one of my pics..;)
I knew Mike 1 and 2 were compatible..unfortunately I'm using lo-res Mike..I wouldn't think that's a real problem..as long as the proportions are close..that is..;)
Thanks for the links..there's a few I didn't have..I'll cruise on out this evening if given a chance..finally put a robe on Mike, which worked out ok..I put someone in front of him so you couldn't see the lack of clothes..;) thanks again everyone..

I wish I'd said that.. The Staircase Wit
