Thank you. I've been wondering this myself as I'm trying to get back into Poser since being gone for a long time. I know it's all old content, but it gives me something to play with since I don't have a lot of money to get new stuff.

I tried both, actually. I was thinking the same thing when it kept saying download error, but some of them worked just fine. I have Spectrum coming out tomorrow to check my lines anyway. Been having other issues with our service besides this possibility anyway. Hopefully, he can get things smoothed over. I'm antsy to get back into Poser. D|s is still confusing af to me!

Sheila - I'm sorry to hear about your bad year. :( Real life sucks sometimes! LOL That's the only way that I can explain it....but I have to believe "That which doesn't kill us, only makes us stronger." And trust me, I've learned just how strong I can be. I wouldn't have thought a year ago that I could live through something like that and still be sane. I'm sending good thoughts and prayers your way for a better 2008!!! I hope your holidays are the highlight of your hear hon!

Nic - I still can't believe what a trooper Ryder is! After everything he's been through, he's the happiest baby I've ever met! I don't know how he did it, but if anything, I've learned to smile through the face of adversity and have faith that everything will turn out just fine!!

Ryder truly is a miracle! The NICU doctor called me the day that he got there and told me all this stuff that COULD happen to Ryder...seziures, blindness, hearing loss, growth problems, asthma, lung problems in general, learning problems and/or disabilities, the list goes on and on and on....would you believe that cognitavely (spelling?) he's ahead of his age group! We're actually working on concepts that an 18 month old is starting to work on!!! He has a large vocabulary compared to his cousin who's 9 days younger than him. He can already find things that are 100% hidden as well! He's been walking holding on to things for the past 5 months! (The stomach problems caused him to stand up early because it was the only way for him to relieve the pressure in his abdomen!)

The only ill-effect that I've noticed is from the merconium. We're thinking that's the cause of him not eating/gaining weight until recently. But we're even catching up on the weight gain. He IS only in 6-9 month clothes, but hey, at 6 months he was still in 0-3!!!! So I'm happy with the weight he's gained in the past 6 months. The doctors think that he's finally getting "baby fat" (Which he had a 0% body fat at birth!) (And they told me he was going to be an 11lb baby!!!! ARGH I had to find premie clothes that still fit him at 4 months old!)

He's actually highly interested in the computer and loves to watch me play around on it. Not that I've had much time to do so, but the past few months since we've been home he's taken a great interest in it. He likes much more "grown up" things than other kids his age. But we did a lot of music therapy with him and he's getting into art now as well. Which is great for his muscle development anyway. HE has really strong legs, but not quite so strong arms because he never crawled.

Okay, I could go on and on and on about Ryder! (I know, typical mom!)

I did send a message to Deb explaining my absense and I did notice that my store's not "gone" persay, but all the products are on "hold" so MAYBE there is something that can be done about it. I sinerely hope so! I don't want to have to reupload THAT many products! ROFL!!!!

I'm definitly looking forward to the REAL sounds of the holiday instead of beeps, whirrs, dings and other than that....total silence!!! I'm looking forward to carols and music and LIGHTS! OH the lights! I missed that so much last year. (The NICU is kept really dark and quiet because most of the kids in there are premies and have eye/sight problems with translucent eyelids....etc) So yea, We're totally going to have a special holiday!

(And I'm the typica mom! I've spent the last year picking stuff up for Christmas, so he's going to be spoiled beyond belief and I can't wait! Since I couldn't get him much last year because of everything that was going on and being on manditory bed rest before I gave birth, yano?!)

I hope your holiday is a great one too!

Quote - WOW.. You have had a hard year:-) My best wishes for you and your baby for 2008:-)
You don't need to feel sorry for not being around.. You have had your "battle" to struggle with...

Very nice to have you back:-)
I wish you and your family a happy christmas and a happy new year:-)

Big hugs from Mariann

You don't have to say that twice! I do feel bad because most of you guys around here are like family to me too and leaving and not letting y'all know what was going on was wrong. I just didn't have my laptop with me most of the time and we couldn't use our cell phones in the hospitals...by the time I got somewhere to rest...all I wanted to do was sleep! LOL Unfortunately, my store here's been deleted and I get to start all over again. sigh Not how I wanted to start out, but I guess that's life, eh?

Thanks Michelle :) I'm glad that I could help you!

hugs

blush Awww :) Thanks tivao! It's the little comments like that that keep me doing this day in and day out :)

Thanks hon :)

Yup, I have an AMD 2800 (2+ghz processor) and only 512mb ram and it renders nicely for me in all 3 Posers (PPP, P5 & P6) It takes a little bit to render, but all in all, it's worth the wait! I'm doing a texture expansion pack for it as well :) Already started it at 1am last night when I saw the hair!!! I'm really excited about this product. It truly revolutionizes the way transmapped hair looks!

For those with questions, this hair does, in fact, render in Poser Pro Pack. :) I'm still partial to it, even though I have P5 & P6, but I wanted to see if it would work in PPP (I prefer doing textures out of PPP, just more familiar) and it does render, slowly sometimes, but it does render. :)

Well I've been thinking about Fabi's Twin Fair, but I hadn't thought of April's Spiral Curls. I'm pretty sure that both of them could be swun somehow within the next month :)

LOL I couldn't stop! It was so fun to texture!!!

Thanks hon, did you see my other 2 hair textures that are in pending? :)

Oh please share what you hope I'll do, you just never know, I've taken requests before!! I'm really glad that you like what I do...usually if it's hair, I'll be doing something for it though as a general rule of thumb (unless it's outrageously expensive like 25 bucks or something...that kind of cost I don't know if I can justify, ya know?) hugs

grins In pending at all 3 stores hon...though it'll probably take a while here, pendings going UBER slow with the holiday weekend
