Quote - I think Batlab is leaving us, there are quite a few great creators that are now leaving us. Have is one of them, I have not seen anything from Bat for quite awhile, except his other stuff in the Renderosity store here.

I have been trying LaurieA, but I am not a creator of fine textures, mostly don't have the time. I work a graveyard shift at a (gasp) 7-Eleven store and I also run my own home base business when I am not working there, Right now business is a bit slow and I have been working on my E-Store and I was using DAZ Studio to create some stuff to put on there, I have a friend who has his own E-Store where I am at plus a brick and mortar store at a local flea market where he lives on the East Coast who also uses DAZ Studio and Poser to create some of his artwork that he uses for his website, plus, he has more time then I do, creates some of his own stuff that he sells here. Lately though seeing what has happen to my old computer I have been trying to get everything back. I had thought I had saved some of Bats older works in a folder on my other slave drive but for some strange reason it had disappeared. I normally keep everything just is case, even some of my DAZ's stuff. And that is another story, lol. I made the mistake of getting Quest here (a local phone company that also has DSL) and when they installed their DSL they also installed MicroSofts One Care, an antivirus program which after starting up started to scan my whole computer including my slave drive, on that slave drive was DAZ's self installers of some of my stuff, well it thought they were all viruses and wiped them all out so now all I have left are just a folder of nothing but icons of everything I got from DAZ Studio, freebies and payed for, some of them were irreplacable, but the rest I got back. Now I get to have the headache of replacing my DAZ stuff once again, but now at least all I need are just the Textures for everything. OK, I think I rambled on long enough, thanks again for all the help folks.

Ah, Microsoft. Gotta love 'em.

"No, it's not a virus, One Care, it's precious data that can't be found anywhere anymore."

Sometimes you gotta wonder: are they really that demented out there in Redmond, (WA - in this case, WA is Washington, not Western Australia) to come up with some of the "safeguards" they do. They have a long way to go before they even get close to Ubuntu usability.
