I haven't seen or heard anything about DAZ Studio yet to justify trying it out, but so what? I like the toonimals. So the way I figure it, DAZ is just a company. If they have something worth using, I'll use it. If not, I won't. Good work on spreading the word about prefetch, though, Veritas. People like you who take the time to find the new features of XP are the primary reason I'm considering an upgrade from Win2k Pro... Of course, if I upgrade, and XP turns out to be horrible, I might have to come looking for you. ;) Peace out and go easy!
