Well - here is a thought for you people who are worried about the activation code... im planning on doing this to my system again soon. Get Nero Burning Rom, and a CD-R Drive if you don't already have one, wipe your hard drive, install your OS, and some of your other basic applications (including poser 5) do any updates/activation needed, install nero burning rom, and do a Hard Drive Backup Image. The next time you need to redo your computer, you just slap the cd's in and lettem rip, it prompts ya for each one as ya go, and once your done installing its just like how it was when u made the backup. The only major downfall of this is, the backup image only works for the same exact make/model of hd, so if you go from a 60gig to a 80gig your gonna be playing the reinstall game all over again.
