So many community created extensions to Poser were written as windows only, as a former mac poser user with an interest in morphs and figure creation I always felt left out of all those nifty toys. I see no reason whatsoever, in terms of making 3d art stuff, to go back to Mac.

Fair call - I bumped back to 'doze mostly because when I bought this little beastie, I still traveled like mad, and since I didn't have the time/patience to Hackintosh something, and because Apple had some really crap options for GPUs on the latest (at the time) Macbook pros... yeah, I wound up buying an Acer Aspire instead, mostly for two things: its reputation for being not total crap (coughDellcough), and because it has an nVidia GTX 1060 (w/ 6GB of dedicated GPU RAM) on board.

I do miss the ol' Mac sometimes. My wife still uses it with zero issues at all, almost 8 years after I first bought the thing.. and I gave it to her in late 2018 after I beat the crap out of it on a near-daily basis. The newer macs (like my work laptop) don't quite have the same uber-high level of quality, but they still do okay.

Meanwhile, most PC-based laptops tend to crap out after 1-2 years (the trackpad is already dead on this Acer, but COVID says that my passport is staying idle for awhile still, so a plugin mouse works just fine for the time being...)
