I certainly sympathize with your loss. I am confused. If you back things up how did you lose this stuff? I frequently backup my data and work. I recently suffered a trojan that wiped out my Windows 2000 system and prompted me to buy Norton Internet Security and go back to Windows ME, temporarily. And now my newest hard drive is apparently dying. Luckily this just contains my programs and operating system. I'd just made a backup of my entire Poser runtime folder. I am now thinking of getting Windows XP (The commercial version) into our house. I am using NTI Backup now to backup all my data and get ready for the move.
