Bryce is very jealous and sulks when you start seeing other programs. :^) Sort of. Apparently Bryce was designed to optimize its functionality by making use of all your available memory resources, including your hard drive as virtual memory for temp files when it deems necessary. This approach allows it to function well (?) on almost any system set-up, and naturally it has trouble sharing space with other programs. After fighting with Bryce for months, trying to multitask efficiently, I finally decided to run Bryce solo. It crashes MUCH less often that way, and I can finish projects much more quickly. It's best to save while rendering often, and I try to do the longest renders while sleeping, and do net surfing and other things on my computer without Bryce running.

This is not my "second childhood". I'm not finished with the first one yet.
