    Ah, yes, nothing like setting up a bunch of lights whose preview version renders one character COMPLETELY INVISIBLE in preview mode and then deciding you need to fix that character's hair and facial expressions...

    Barney Miller is a strange science fiction. phones are big luggy things on desks.  desks have no computers, just folders and paper.

    Glad you got it sorted,   and wow what a track    can't sit still while that is palying.   And I had forgotten just how big a guy Mick Fleetwood is.  surprise

    In regards to the Barney Miller "keyboards"...

    My friend's four year old daughter asked "where is the screen" when she saw my old typewriter... I had just told her that was what I used to write stories on... It's  a really old (probably late 30s - 40s) machine.  I found it in the garbage of a typewriter repair shop when I was a kid and sort of fixed it... It was semi asymmetrical when I found it, but I was able bend enough of it into shape to get it to "work".

    Her question reminds me of some steampunk computer I saw pictures of, where the keyboard was a turn of the (previous) century typewriter.

    Yes, he's a giant, but probably a good thing when you're a drummer. And Corrs just playing fantastic, as always.

    do i wanna stay with metacreations bryce or install bryce7pro?

    the metacreations might even be pre-32bit

    all Bryce is 32 bit.   What ever number it has.   Unless you have a very very old copy.  I can't remember 100% about Bryce 2, but it worked fine on my 486. and windoze 3.11    My son has the disc, so I can't check for you.   But metacreations,  Bryce 3 or 4  should be fine

       Bryce 5  (Corel) would be better. Bryce 5.5 (first Daz Bryce)  about the same, but now has a bridge to DS.   Bryce 6 and 7  (Daz)  are better still, especially 7, which has loads of extra lighting goodies etc.

    My mother had a big heavy black "Royal" typewriter from the 1930s.  When I was entering High School (about 1962) she told me "You are going to learn to type!"  and despite my whines that invariably included "Aww, mom, only girls take typing" she made me learn by buying a self-teaching book and made me practice on her old typewriter for months that year.  I never regretted it.  When I went to college my parents bought me a Smith-Corona "Classic-12" portable with the extra 4 "Mathematics" characters on two replaceable typeheads for two of the keys.  In college I earned a little money typing papers for other students.  I also made a little money typing computer punch cards for the kids that didn't know how to use a keypunch.  I've typed my whole career.  And now in my dotage I'm teaching myself Russian and have gotten tolerably good at copying Russian text with a Russian keyboard.  It's like any other skill.  Motivation, education and practice. 

    I have fond memories of those old typewriters and regret having sold my Smith-Corona.  However, I would only go back to using one if civilization collapsed and electricity vanished.

    Love The Corrs!  I saw them in concert once.  Unfortunately Caroline wasn't playing as she had gone back home because she was close to having her first child.  Being a drummer I was disappointed, but the replacement was good and they were fantastic!

    Only girls learn typing?     My Dad taught me.    On an old sit up and beg typewriter   can't remember what make.     He worked for the Post Office  which back when he started was still a government ministry.  He started at 14 as a telegraph boy, and learned touch typing and morse code.   His typing speed on his typewriter at home was phenominal,  he typed both his books as well as countless magazine articles. And he remained bi-lingual in Morse code, never forgot it.

    I do understand the "only girls learn to type" thing. I took typing though because most of the students there were girls. I would have taken the cooking class for the same reason, but my rep wouldn't have survived that. laugh

    I never learned to type...  I believe the method I relied on is called "Transcoincidental Poking"... I didn't even know there was such a thing as learning to type... I figured you just start tapping away at the keys and as long as you managed to avoid doing anything deadly, you were typing... I suppose words should also start appearing on the paper too... But that was typing... 

    Clack... clack... twack clack bang clack clack twack bang clack clack clack shwack clack thwack shwack bang... Bing!... Zzzzzzzzwit!.... 

    I had some serious delusions where that poor warped 400 pound typewriter was gonna give me some Hemmingway powers...

    It didn't.

    That's a bad omen... What color is the poop?

    If it's orange with green specks you should avoid traveling on a sailing ship for four moons... Or don't moon anyone on a sailing ship... I forget which... It could also mean the bird was eating Halloween candy.

    I know if the bird starts pecking you, it means it's angry... Or you were rolling in honey and birdseed...

    Reading supernatural signs is complicated.

    My son did the Domestic science course (posh way of saying cookery classes)  His teacher even called me in for a meeting as he was so insistent he was going to do it.  He even told his careers master that he was practising sexual discrimination if he stopped him doing it.  I really laughed at that,  and then told him (the teacher)  that my son was already fully capable of producing a Sunday cooked dinner for the family.  He was 13 at the time.  Needless to say he was allowed to take the course and came out at the end of it as top of the class with a very good exam result.
