Hi, I have a mac. (and a pc but I don't use the PC much). There's a few things you need to know. when you put a folder into a folder on a PC, if the subfolders contain similar names the content will be merged, and any files with same name replaced but not the folders. whereas on mac the folders will replace (not merge) the similarly named folders. therefore you could easilly delete your whole runtime for poser which would be really sad if it wasn't backed up. It will take a bit of getting used to. there's a merging utility by kaveman (who is a member here) and that is really good for installing poser content. It's called ditto. You don't need anything from the softrabit website despite what it says on the readmes of all the products made for poser which you buy here. that was an old thing which applied to poser 4 and OS 9 only. poser 6 stuff normally needs no conversion to work on macs or PCs, with the exception that if PNGs aren't included you need kaveman's utility called Xshruggy to make them or you won't see thumbnails. You should be able to copy your runtime from your PC to your mac and just use it, apart from the poser software which you don't copy as you need the mac version of poser to use poser on a mac.
