Oh, Poppi, I am sooooo sorry to hear that! I lost my hard-drive a few weeks ago, not as tramatic as what you experienced, but the results were the same........I LOST EVERYTHING, and didn't have anything backed up on CD's at all. What I am writing to tell you is, that all the purchases I ever made from here as well as from all the other wonderful people who sell things on their own web-sites, well....they were all nice and wonderful enough to send me the files again, once I explained my situation to them. Also, Daz, will make a CD burn of all your purchases for $20.00, a small price to pay if you have bought as much as I have. It's just a thought, but I am sure that anyone you contact about your situation will be more than happy to help....they were absolutely wonderful to me,(thanks again, Sharen) and it made losing my hard-drive, so much easier to accept. Funny how we can get so attached to a machine like that. (: Take care and I hope your new computer is bigger and better than the one you lost, and that you will be back to rendering in no time. Genny
