My Poser drive just croaked.  I have Poser 7 and 8 on a dedicated drive, with all my runtimes.  I was in the middle of using the XL library python script when Poser 8 suddenly crashed .  So I restarted my computer, because it wanted to use Poser 6, which is on another drive, to open the file.  I think the drive fried right in the middle,. My compy took ten or fifteen minutes to boot.  You know the Windows screen with the little scanning thing?  It started creeeeeeeeeping along.  Finally sped up again and booted.  No Poser 8 drive.  Feh.  Gonna go to Smith Micro and make a bug report.
