No, I'm not referring to "religion" per se, jake. I believe it boils down to God and authority. I can agree that it isn't exactly the same thing, religion and a belief in God.

Depending upon the HDD, you should be able to hook the drive up to your Linux box and have it read it since Linux can read a ton of different filesystems whereas out of the box Windohs can only read NTFS and FAT32.

I doubt that there's any way to point it to the dir, that is to say that I've never found such a feature. I know it'd be a pain, but for models that have more than one texture I've had to set up each one manually. Thankfully the models that I've had don't have too many textures.

If you have a toolbar installed I think it can infect any browser that you use. The FF3 installer didn't remember seeing any of that when installed. I picked the \"Advanced\" install I think it was and it didn't say anything about a toolbar.
