About Poser 'phoning home.' I only noticed this after I installed a firewall. It spooked me a bit, in case my exe file had been infected by some nasty virus or something. I couldn't find anything about it in the documentation. So I wrote to CL, with a simple question, explaining my worry, and asking if something had gone wrong, or was Poser accessing the net in case there were upgrades, patches, or whatever - it didn't even cross my mind that it might be an anti-piracy thing. This was about 6 weeks ago, and they didn't bother to reply. A subsequent (different) tech support question got an almost instant answer, and when I later wrote an email of (very mild) complaint about the lack of a proper manual for the ProPack, I got another fast reply (agreeing with me, actually). But from a company that seems to be fast and helpful in replying to email, not a word on the 'phoning home' issue. I can't help but wonder why. John
