The filedate is wierd, Ron, because I redeemed my gift certificate for Steph on March 11th but the fixed version hadn't gone up yet. However, Sassy, I do remember that the new and improved model WAS smaller-- so that lets me know which one to archive and which one to toss. I switched over the files last night-- geometries to geometries and cr2 to cr2. Holding my breath the whole time. Seemed to work but XP is not as happy about running Poser out of the Program files as my other OS's have been. With 16G's of scratch disk available it said there wasn't enough room to render-- I think it didn't know where to render. I saved the pz3-- it was my first save on the new system-- and then everything was ok. Just in case anyone else transfers to a new XP and has this problem. Oh, it's so good to be able to work on a big screen-- 16 inches flat screen at 1600 by sumpin [12-00??] is Huge!!! And this is the first time the refresh rate is kind to my vertigo at 32bit/ or 24, I forget, anyway TrueColor. I'm a little ditsy cause I was up till 3 playing. I have to transfer the rest over today-- click, click, click till I think my hands are falling off, and then all I'll use my desktop for is online stuff and some post. If anyone is thinking about whether Adobe Elements is good enough to replace PhotoShop-- forget it! It came with my new Sony and seems to be designed for low memory stuff. There's no fade on the filters, and it crashes everytime you blink and apologises very very nicely for losing all your work. I'm getting rid of it-- and using PSP on my new puter for preliminary post. Next month I'm adding a 120G firewire-- 360 at Western Digital--- and I can take a breath on spare memory and scratch disk space at least. I might even be able to run Painter 7. Emily
