Hi, I've currently got 28 external runtimes, on an external hard drive, arranged as: Aiko3 & Morphs Aiko3 Clothing Animals Buildings Creatures David & Morphs David Clothing DAZ Skeletons Dinosaurs Effects & Poses Freak & Morphs Freak Clothing Furniture & Household Hair M3 & Morphs M3 Clothing Misc Items Nature Other People Other People's Clothing Stephanie & Morphs Stephanie Clothing Tools & Weapons V3 & Morphs V3 Clothing The total is around 25GB. V4/morphs/clothing is in my Poser 7 runtime, which totals 3.16GB. This arrangement has worked fine for me up to now, but I'm about to get a new Mac (a 3.2GHz Mac Pro), and it's time for a little spring cleaning. My new mac will have bags more room and bags more processing power than my current machine, so I'm thinking of moving everything back to the main hard drive (but keeping a back-up on the external). Given V4 has GOT to be in the Poser 7 Runtime, this looks like the way things are moving, and I suspect we can expect to see M4 and other future figures requiring the same. I'm wondering what the future holds, because if everybody does this (not just DAZ) then our Poser runtimes are going to get overcrowded again. Even if I move everything back, I'll still keep it in sub-folders and load as and when I need it, just to speed things up a bit.
