Hi There

My bundle of joy came around ten o clock (Malborough)

Having a Node Mode Moment - my first render was a tastful little number called soap bubble sitting on Rusty square

Install went really well and I had an easy registration too

This response code thingy reminds me of late sixties free form poetry.

Somewhat bemused at the general reports of slowness - even with firefly it chugged along quite nicely. This on an oldish AMD 1.2GHz with 512Mb ram (and an ATI Radeon)

Put the Poser 4 runtime into the libraries- stuff like that
Somewhat pushed the envelope to see if I could crash it ...
Nope the little bugger is still running in the background as I type. My test was a Vicky 2 render with the SteffyZ Gaia
Texture with a mop of comforming hair
pressed go and away the AMD chugged with me watching the task manager to see how much memory was committed (lots) but interestingly very little cpu time. (aound 60% with peaks up on the 100% but not for long)

The program is huge and its going to take a long long time before anybody can get their head round everything.

Before the install - defragged all of my hard discs.

During intitial setup I could render so I reset all of the hard discs virtual memory setting so there was this echoing void of disc space for the renders - it worked and is working still.
Must go now I have a Chrome marble on a steel plate feeling coming on.
