hahaha, thanks for the welcome into the Mac Cult...and well, i was planning on use the Poser 6 mac version, as i figured my imac was kinda too old to handle anything higher than that... would you happen to be saying i would be better off running Poser 8 on my PPC rather than Poser 6?

and thanks for all the advice... I'm definitely leaving alone the Prefs and Python folders on the mac install... and move my old pythons to a new folder in the mac python one... will let you guys know how this all went once it's done...
