Babylon 5 will be back on the Sci-Fi Channel starting March 31st.<<< Well, that's a bit of good news. >>>Besides, you can't leave now ... you'll miss Tremors: The Series.<<< Oh, oh, the excitement builds! ;-) >>>And they're filming a remake of Battlestar Galactica.<<< They lost me on that remake when they announced that Starbuck was going to be female. Think about it... Star-BUCK. Anyway, part of the reason many of the fans liked the show was due to the chemistry between the rather straight-laced Apollo and the rather "not so straight-laced" Starbuck. I write it off as another casualty to Hollywood's obsession with political-correctness. >>>My local cable provider finally added Sci-Fi to the lineup last week.<<< Well, here's to hoping they start living up to their name. Take care, be well, keep flying. casamerica

Tripping the Rift has appeared on the Sci-Fi Channel, also. There has been talk of turning it into a series.<<< Really? I did not know that. I can't imagine anyone at Sci-Fi having the brass to place it on the schedule. Hmph. Of course, I watch very little on the Sci-Fi Channel anymore. I'll catch the last "Farscapes" and that'll be about it. When they cancelled "Farscape," dumped "B5" and started running shows like "Braveheart" they lost me. I mean, I love "Braveheart." Great movie. But what is science-fiction about it? I am waiting for "Pet Psychic" and "Messages from Silicon Heaven" to start their run on Sci-Fi. ;-) I think I just hijacked my own thread. :-0 Take care, be well, keep flying. casamerica

I take it then that I shouldn't be waiting for that $32,995? The missus will be mightily disappointed. ;) Actually, Peng, I think we're more in agreement than not. Probably most of us here are. It is already to the point in OT where you can't start a thread on a totally unrelated subject, such as science fiction, without someone having to shove their political agenda in your face. I would just like to see such disrespectful and unsocialable behavior kept out of the libraries... from all sides. Take care, be well, keep flying. casamerica

The item in question wasn't exactly in good taste, but IMHO posting freebies in a sneering counter-gesture is just as immature.<<< Which is why I did not believe the original "offering" should stay. Counter posts were sure to follow. Yes, I admit it, I thought it should have been pulled. I simply thought an item "flipping the bird" at those with an opposing view was insulting, immature and not the sort of item we needed to start filling up the libraries with. >>>I'm willing to bet any amount of money that if the t-shirt texture called Bush some despicable name or somesuch, most of the complainers in this thread would prolly be giggling and downloading, and not demanding the removal of the item.<<< Okay, okay. But I'll only take $32,995. You see, you're wrong. Frankly, I don't care what childish, immature comments, remarks, names, philosophies, propaganda, rhetoric or BS one wishes to spew in OT. It is already filled with such drivel and I can easily just ignore it by not going in there or by simply breezing by any threads started by any one of about thirty or so people. The libraries are a bit different. There is a "nudity" flag, but I see no "stupid" flag or "insulting" flag. I like to see what new items the artists have created and offered for use here. I have found all sorts of useful items in the libraries. I just don't think the members here should have to accept the OT mentality in the libraries. That's all. Since it is obvious that at least a few are not going to show any respect for fellow members with an opposing view I would have thought the admins or mods would have. Believe me, Peng, this can get out of control and get very ugly very fast. BTW, I voted for Bush. Will you be sending that $32,995 by certified check or should I send you my PayPal address? ;-) Take care, be well, keep flying. casamerica

senjin, I think we are much more in agreement than not on this point. ;) aprilrosanina, I'd go ahead and post them. They are definitely more respectful than the library offering that prompted this thread. You make your point without insulting those with an opposing view. THAT is showing respect. THAT is accepting responsibility while exercising your right to speak your opinion. Take care, be well, keep flying. casamerica

We all have a right to feel what we do as well as express it in any fashion that we wish.<<< True. But when that right is exercised without any respect toward others or without acceptance of the responsibilities that come with that right you end up with the childish, immature exchanges currently going back and forth in the OT forum. Frankly, I do not wish to see the libraries overflowing with the same. But if the admins and mods see no problem with it then so be it. It is, afterall, THEIR site. Take care, be well, keep flying. casamerica

We had the same situation right after the election in 2000. The admin and mods nipped it in the bud before it got out of hand. I think they should do the same now. You have a stand? Fine. You want to express an opinion? Fine. Do it in OT or even with art in your gallery, but leave the libraries out of it. Take care, be well, keep flying. casamerica

Ah, I had the same thing happen when I first installed ProPack. Do as pink999 states - locate the Poser.exe file manually. That is what I had to do also. I have no idea why the PP could not find it, but since installation I have very few burps with ProPack. Take care, be well, keep flying. casamerica

I wish I could help you more, but I use Poser 4 and Pro Pack with WinXP and have had no problems. Is your copy of Poser 4.0.3 also English? I believe I remember there being an issue with trying to mix the various language versions of Poser and Pro Pack. Take care, be well, keep flying. casamerica

Hey Casamerica i thought i smelled smoke the other day but by the time i got there all that was left were some charred bones and bits of picked over flesh ;-)<<< That'd be me a few weeks/months ago. Regeneration is a tiring process. ;) >>>But don't let that stop you from speaking your mind or typing your thoughts :-}<<< Naw, it ain't any fear of the charcoal, spit and barbecue carriers. I just do not like to engage in the exchange of speculative theories when it comes to other people's money and/or business. At least until some of those theories are confirmed. ;) Take care, be well, keep flying. casamerica

No, they laid off all the good ones...<<< No, that is not true. I have my issues with CL, how they released Poser 5, etc., etc. Those opinions will never change. My customer ties are forever severed with CL, but there are still a few good people at CL. At least I had the honor of dealing with one who kept her word. So I have to respectfully disagree with your statement above, martian_hunter. Take care, be well, keep flying. casamerica

This sounds like one of those deals thats too good to be true. and you know what they say about that sounds like a hoax<<< If it wasn't at Amazon.com, I'd agree with you stallion. Although I still do not regard this as a "good deal." Poser 5 is still Poser 5 and is what it is at any price. I have a theory, very much speculation at this point, as to what might be happening. But since I have just now recovered from the flaming, roasting and barbecue sauce burns the last time I questioned anything dealing with CL, I will refrain from any public statements. ;) And speculation is just that... speculation. But to my friends, I still advise bypassing Poser 5. Take care, be well, keep flying. casamerica

casamerica - I wasn't flaming you. I found it amusing, that's all. It was like reading a newspaper article and going, "Hey, I know the person they're quoting!" (Yeah, I'm a bit weird.)<<< No problem, Crescent. Not your fault. Like I said in the IM, my apologies for not making my meaning more clear. >>>I've also had a lot of problems with P5, so I know what you're going through.<<< Not anymore and not for quite awhile now. Poser 5 was taken off the one system I had it on for testing and it has been banned from ever being reloaded on any machines within our network. It is history. >>>(But you forgot to mention how seamless the registration process was.) ;-)<<< LOL! You know, it would have been better if the registration had been a nightmare. At least I would have some warning as to what was to come. ;-) Take care, be well, keep flying. casamerica

So why don't we all go and write customer reviews for Amazon.com? Start flooding the place with reviews from us "experts".<<< Never claimed to be or stated I was an "expert," JohnRender. If you disagree with my review, which was written in December I believe, please feel free to offer your own. Take care, be well, keep flying. casamerica

I see that casamerica didn't hold back on his opinion at Amazon.<<< Nothing that I did not state, get flamed and threatened for here, Crescent. I do have to state that I believe Amazon may have altered their own review since I last read it. I can't say for sure, but I do not remember their review being as negative as it now reads. Also, in December the shipment was "Usually within 24 hours." That is considerably different than what it now states. It does cause one to speculate. Oh, well. To me, it is all history. Take care, be well, keep flying. casamerica
