Hi guys,

Been MIA lately as I've been conducting repairs to my pc due to a nasty virus attack. It got past McAfee and then proceeded to attack it directly. Once it was done killing McAfee it then took aim at my Windows registry files and system files. After spending 4 plus hours on the phone will Dell tech support the only recourse I had was to wipe the pc clean and start over. I lost every thing, all my works, custom materials etc.....
All gone. I couldn't even copy them over to a CD because they might have been infected as well. Murphy's law I guess.

So as of tonight I went and downloaded every thing that I purchased from Renderosity and Daz3D. WOW, I spent a crap load of money on this stuff!!! Do yourself a favor, never look at your purchase history, it will make you sick!!! I also just reinstalled Vue 4 Pro and V5I so now I'm back in business. I just have to reinstall Poser 4 and all the figures and stuff I bought for it which will take a while. Then browse through the free stuff section here and download all the other stuff I got from this site. Man this is going to be a pain in the butt!!!

Start looking for some new images in about a week from me. Hopefully by then after some long nights I will be fully operational.

Jim
