Thorne, You've shared some amazing work with us and been an inspiration - you're ALL heart! Glad to hear you're doing well! P.S. The sled is awesome (as usual!) I wish I was HALF as good as you!

42, but with the right morph targets and lighting...

In case you want to switch to NTFS in W2K (I like it myself, but then I never gave FAT32 much of a test drive) - for system drives, it schedules it for the next reboot: C:>convert /? Converts FAT volumes to NTFS. CONVERT volume /FS:NTFS [/V] volume Specifies the drive letter (followed by a colon),mount point, or volume name. /FS:NTFS Specifies that the volume to be converted to NTFS. /V Specifies that Convert should be run in verbose mode.

Boy, I hate to hear stories like this, hope it gets resolved for you O.K. I have to say one thing, though, it's not necessarily going to get worse (I'm a programmer too, and soulhuntre is right about Linux, and it's true of a lot of others. Microsoft's .NET (it'll be a while before we get apps written in it, but not too long) addresses security problems in a preventative way (where the old ones only gave you an idea of who to sue). I don't work for Big Bill, but just attended an independent 1 week conference about .NET, and it made me feel warm and fuzzy. Microsoft's sorely aware of the problems they've had (others have too, but it's better press to attack MS), and have thrown billions into the new technologies - the runtime library already exists (4 years now), and will probably come out after Windows 2002 (it'll support Win98, NT4, 2000, 2002). Unfortunately, there will be other dangers. I found someone's receipt from a local comic book store on my lawn just this morning. It had the full Visa number (no **** stuff) and the expiration date. Whenever I buy something on the net, that's all I'm ever asked for (for the record, I threw it out). I also read recently that when you use a card in a restaurant, keep your eyes on it at all times (if you can) - this is a common scam. You may also switch companies - I once had to get on the phone with my bank when I charged (mega) car repairs - some of them are good about trying to verify large amounts.

Great. Now, can someone direct me to the latest patch?

I do like to see some of the "Hey look at this" stuff, when it inspires me to try something (or at least try to figure it out), or when it's really amusing... It's also kind of inspires me to get good enough that maybe I could put something together good enough to sell someday (at the moment I'm playing with creations that have so much Zygote and everyone else in them that I'm afraid to GIVE them away much less sell them! I think I need a friggin' lawyer first! Or maybe I'll wait until I put something together entirely from scratch (working on that, actually...)

Yeah, nice job on the hair! I'm still working on hair I like on the poser default pose, but this is AWESOME! I am not WORTHY!!!

It was Computer Associates (they made some use of Viewpoint in a monitoring tool called Unicenter TNG where you can have 3d machines flash red in 3D buildings, can zoom out all the way to the continent or in to an ethernet card - way cool). It was at their booth at CA's trade show I got hooked on this stuff. CA sold them to MetaCreations in July... new URL - http://www.viewpoint.com/intro/index.html name change announcement - http://www.viewpoint.com/company/g1b_detail.jsp?id=13 "Metastream Changes Company Name to Viewpoint Corporation". I can't find anything like the old free meshes download, but I remember getting bored checking it, since it never changed.
