BB, thank you, I have some networking abilities but the speed is terrible 2k per whatever to transfer data-- I couldn't ever do Poser at that speed-- couldn't even get on the web-- fortunately, web speed is faster. I'm hoping the firewire card is the problem-- I can't do web and Poser at once, but I don't anyway, so that's no prob. We'll see soon, Friday or Monday. Networking is sooooo hair pullingly complicated just when everything seems great, something falls out of the network and we're back to zero. My tech's doing linksys. And he's a sweetie, no charge unless it works. Operguy, I don't have a fast enough weblink to do animations, sorry, I trust you though and the times are impressive. Emily
