Hi all and thanks for the input! A couple of notes: I have no intention of ever buying Poser 6 :) CL simply hasn't impressed me much. I would expect (based on CL's history) to see all kinds of problems with it initially. Plus, I don't see them moving away from the very things that vendors still aren't supporting. Look in the marketplace and you'll see that most Poser products are still being created for PP and P4. Anyway....I'm not going to spend much time talking about that. So...my goal is to have a computer that will run Poser 5, so I can export .pz3's to render in Vue5 :) Daz Studio has a much better chance of being properly tested and eventually replacing Poser for me. Storm mentioned computer recycling. I agree....simply because you can't get rid of the old junk! I currently have a Pentium I 166, a Pentium II 266, a Pentium III, and the computer I'm on now...a PIV, 1.7ghz. I had that PI on a yard sale, complete with two monitors, speakers, creative labs sound card and modem for $25. I even had it running so they could see that it worked......no takers. Next year the PI will be in the "free" pile. That's another reason I'm no longer willing to spend a lot on computers....they become obsolete quicker than cars!
