Thanks for the tip about the dual-boot setup...that is of course an option....or to steel back the 133 MHZ portable that I gave to my 11 year old girl a long time ago. Anyway, I guess I will buy the real version soon anyway...I thinking about version 4 which is supposed to be out there soon (!?)or maybe Worldbuilder which is just about to release Ver 3. Just also saw in a pressrelease that Bryce 5 is planned to be shipped this summer also...choises, choises... ...and they will of course all run very smothly on Win XP!? Enjoy Sunshine in Life / Ole
