What's missing from Python on P5 Mac is Tkinter support, so no GUI for python scripts. Any script that can do without the dialog boxes (other than a simple yes/no/cancel) can be made to work on the Mac. The worst part of P5 Mac is its lack of stability (though I see just as many complaints from PC users about Poser crashing). There seem to be gaping holes in lots of its memory management/garbage collection. That said, the current P5 on OS X is not fully native. It uses the CFM binary format intended as a migration aid from OS 9, rather than the fully native MachO binary format. This adds significant overhead to every bit of I/O the program does (excluding compute bound renders which are only limited by being unable to utilise a second CPU at all). I hear that CL are working on Poser 6. If the Mac release lags the PC version by 18 months (as happened last time), the only excuse I would tolerate would be that they were making it fully OS X native and adding multi-processor support. Setup and cloth rooms both work as well as the rest of P5 on the Mac. I wouldn't want to put you off upgrading to P5 though. Most of my complaints are of the genre "Huge Scope For Improvement", rather than "Don't Waste Your Time and Money". ;-) Prefix-GeoffIX-Suffix
