    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.

     

    the d/l confusing me.  bryce 7pro seems to be only light and content exes 

    The downloads on the Bryce 7 Pro page are just the added features of the Pro version.  The actual application and base content is on the Bryce 7 (non-Pro) page.

    ETA:  Lightning is the render node for network rendering.

    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...

    Some of the later electronic typewriters actually had a small LCD display where you could edit the text before actually typing it.

    I am watching Ghostbusters 1 with the lights on.  I Could ask Leo or Edward to turn the lights off but one is a goodfish and the other is a Betta.  Guess I have to turn off the lights myself.

    Speaking of typewriters...  someone in my paternal family, 3 or 4 generations ago (mid/late 1800s, had an American patent on a typewriter.  surprisecool

    I can't imagine why it didn't succeed! frown  Perhaps it was just too far ahead of it's time with that ergonomic keyboard design. indecision  Or perhaps the mother-of-pearl inlay and gold filigree was too pretentious.  But notice the character type-cylinder is strikingly similar to the typeball of the IBM Selectric so prevelant at the end of the typewriter era in the 1970s 80s, & 90s.  Good idea but like I said, in the 1800s it was ahead of its time.  That's the trouble with my family, forward thinkers, bad businesmen. sad

    Now, if that old typewriter could have had a powered model that ran on steam.... Hmmmm enlightened

    I'm assuming the photo is of the typewriter of which you mention... Thats actually a pretty cool looking machine... Not just the ergonomic design, but it looks like there are lots of other interesting features to it too.

    Yup, I have an Olivetti like that... It had some primitive sort of spellcheck that never really worked and some special whiteout kind of correction tape built in... Back in '83 when I got it, it was probably a $300 or more unit, but I only paid $30 for it at a liquidator... Back then you could actually get fantastical bargains at liquidators... Nowadays what liquidators that do steel to the public, offer crummy discounts... $100 items go for like $95 or $100 and they claim it's a $150 item... Phfffffft!

    ...hmm, may need to cut back on those Pan Galactic Gargle Blasters.  Makes me feel like I got hit in the head with a large gold brick or something of the sort.

    You got off easy, they must have been watered down.
