surreality, kuroyume0161 is correct and you are wrong. I have a PC and a mac, and until you get a PC you don't understand that PCs merge folders and their subfolders, and only replace files of the identical name in the subfolders. It is a fundamental difference that any switcher should understand or they could completely wipe out a runtime. It always makes me wonder when PC users say they manually install their runtimes and mac users think they are doing the same thing, because for a PC user you just examine the contents of the runtime with winzip or something then drag and drop the folder into the runtime of your choice. I can imagine all the mac people who don' know this, slowly adding their props contents, and pose folder contents bit by bit into the runtime everytime they buy something new like I used to have to do, until I got the utility called Ditto by Kaveman (he's a member here and can give you the URL). It enables folders to merge on your mac ie PC style. If u have an old PC it is good to keep it. I don't use my PC much but it is indispensible for a couple of softwares at the moment. I network it to the mac with an ethernet cable. My poser is in my applications folder on my mac computer with my runtime and all my external runtimes. I have mapped the network drive on the PC and given the disk image the name Z, and the PC softwares can then see my mac disk and runtime and work on it. I much prefer my mac to the PC though and everything I can I do on my mac whenever possible. it is nice to have both. actually my mac is an intel mac anyway so if i wanted i wouldn't need the seperate PC but i don't want to mess around when my 2 puter system works so well. love esther
