Thank you.

I thought my best course of action would be to install the versions that I had mastered, use them a bit to dust off the dormant memories, THEN consider what to upgrade...but Eon (Vue) seems to have lost my account (and the ....LOT of money in licenses I spent there), Daz3D isn't showing the vast majority of what I bought for Poser (not a single Victoria, for instance, and certainly not the free, but registered bryce 5.5 and lightning...). From what I'm reading, at least Eon has a decent excuse (hacked, sold, hacked again...).

I hate to do this, but I think I have no choice. Time to dig out the TAPE BACKUP.

at least renderosity & autodesk seem to have retained their respective marbles...
