PC's, not Macs, are the industry standard. And just for the record, a friend of mine had Windows XP and she hated it and had her computer tech pur 2000 back on her computer. She said it was so quirky she couldn't stand it. I'm using 98 and having absolutely NO problems at all. I just have an HP Pavillion 9680C that I picked up from ReturnBuy on e-Bay. 40 gigs HD, 128mg memory, and it runs Poser beautifully. I couldn't even tell yuo what video card I have, I don't have a clue, but it purrs like a kitten and never crashes in Poser unless I've been doing a bunch of other things (Word documents, Photoshop, games) and I've had it on too long. If I use it on a fresh boot up, Poser is flawless for me. I never seem to have the problems some folks have mentioned in the threads here. [shrug] Just lucky, I guess. Melanie
