Oh joy. My computer is freezing on or after boot, so I have a call in to my service guy to pick it up and fix it.

Good luck with the computer Satira, just got a friend to give my 5 year old monster a bit of a overhaul. Couldn't upgrade anything from their spare parts as nothing compatible but they know what I need now so will be keeping an eye out for when their work is upgrading the computers

Good luck Satira and Dreamer. I struggled with a machine that had the habit of crashing to the blue screen of death on a regular basis for a couple of years. Once I was able to afford a decent replacement it really gave me back my interest. I still use the old machine on occasions and, of course there has not been one BSOD incident since I replaced it, then again I do not push it to it's limits any more

Sorry to hear that, Satira, I feels for you...my computer gave me so much trouble and grief before Shannon overhauled it that I’m still on tenterhooks each time I use it. It at least got me into the habit of saving every nanosecond but what a ghastly few months it was!

We are heading into the evening here in the UK as it is just coming up to 18.30. It has been a good afternoon though, if a little busy.

I can relate to that, the number of scenes I lost because I got so engrossed I forgot to back up. One of the real pluses for me with Poser 11 was the autosave function, still lost a few steps but not the whole scene.

Darn it! I knew someone would spot the snag!
OK! Plan B! It strikes me that the problem here is Greenwich Mean Time. You know. That line which runs from North to South Pole and is fixed at Greenwich and determines the time at any point in the world relative to it! Right? Now, because it's fixed at Greenwich that means it revolves with the world and at the same speed! So me and Lucy have come up with a cunning plan. Yep! We're going to cut it loose! (Lucy is putting a new blade in the hacksaw as I type!) This, of course, means that as the world revolves GMT will slow down and (eventually) stop. Result! The advantages are obvious. Say, for instance, Terre pops in and says, "Good Morning/Afternoon/Evening/Oh Dear! My legs just fallen off!" by the time you see it you can also respond in like manner because GMT is no longer fixed and should, in fact, be in your vicinity by that time. Okey Dokey! Now, what time is that London train?
Footnote: It's just been pointed out that cutting GMT loose means that, given that the world revolves at a fair rate of knots, serious injuries could occur as a result of meeting it in passing. I wish to point that this is complete and utter nonsense because GMT is, of course, imaginary. However, just in case, I would advise interested parties to employ the use of stilts* for the next few days just to be on the safe side.
