personally I have never understood software rivalry, they are just tools aren't they? I own both and also find they have different strengths. I followed a thread on a forum recently that was started by the rumour that Eon where thinking of buying Bryce, People seemed to be getting quite emotional about this.all I could find whithin myself was indifference.after all software becomes dated doesn't it? Who can tell what we will be using in ten years time.
