Re-hello all ! I was not saying that my way of doing things was the best (i.e. repartitionning disk and cleaninstalling the OSes and stuff) but it is mine and works well everytime the 'puter does the nasty. As for Classic operation within OS X with any 3D prog, it slows things a bit to my perception compared with the clean operations from a Mac OS 9 disk (I run on an eMac G4 700 mHz, 384 Mb Ram, 40 Gb hd partitioned 25 for OS X and 15 for OS 9). I may not have enough Ram for easy operation, but that's another problem. And maybe it's just because I just quite don't get it when they say this is preemptive multitasking and that is not the same as it was before...did I hear "resistance to change" ? Maybe a cultural gap to fill... So, that maybe it. And yes, Poser is a bad citizen in the Mac world to my sense... From a guy who got acquainted with Poser on a Performa 6200, PPC 75 mHz, 64 Mb ram, 8 Gb hd... (as you can see, no As Shanin clothing, gothic prison freebies...nothing more than 900 X 900 tex maps for posette, and yes, almost exclusively using posette...no render yet upped here because I dont feel worthy...just playing around) PH
