I'm an avid jigsaw puzzler and I finally found a computer program I really liked and it used any image, especially 800-600. That fits most computer wallpapers. So, I began a quest to find images I liked that I could use at jigsaw puzzles. That led me to a lot of sites where people used mysterious programs to make them -- mostly Bryce. What was this strange program, Bryce? Then I found Renderosity and started reading about this *Bryce* thing. Hum....it's a 3D program. Well, that sounded cool. Wonder how I go about getting it. Look! There's free trial version. Well, how cool! It's not that I'm computer illiterate...quite the contrary. It's just that my experience is in the world of type, not images. They tell me I'm a computer programmer (even if that was a life time ago). I've taught computer courses, I do curriculum editing for a living and use some 2D skills. But I've only just discovered first hand the world of 3D. This was done late October '02 after having played with Bryce for maybe 3 weeks. There was another thread where folks talked about how happy they were when they got votes in a challenge or won one.... If only you all could have heard the squeal I let out when I saw my first vote in last month's challenge - a squeal that became a shriek when I placed third. ~sigh~ Some things *just might* be better than sex! :o)
