G'Day!

Firstly, I am new to Poser / Daz, currently running Poser 7 and just downloaded DAZ 1.8.
Secondly I am running a Intel Core2 2.8ghz with 2gig DDR2 ram and NVIDIA G-Force 8600GT 512 meg Video Card with three hard drives 2 x 250 gig internal and 1 x 500gig external.

My question's involve the most effecient method in managing the model files, I have just recently started to "install" models into poser with terrible results, this being folders everywhere. So I have come for some expert advice.

1)Daz models are self-installing, should I place them in folders other than the poser or daz directories, as I have found that after a while both programs become very large and bloated.

2)Do I make runtime folders for each and every model? (Victoria three all files need to create the model would go into Folder V3, Michael 3 into Folder M3 ect) or should I place the main charcaters in poser and daz permanently?

3)Zip files - there is a lot of free models in Zip files do I make individual runtime folders for them too?

4)Do you only bring them (the models) into poser / daz as you need them, I mean say you want to make a city scene, with cars and people and animals would you only bring those items into poser as you use them for that project and once it is finished (the project), remove them from the content folder?

Thank you in advance for your help.
