Well, I believe it's wise to wait a little bit. I usually hate special offers and sales (buy 2, take 3), specially when made on a future speculation: has anyone of you tryed the beta of Brice 5.5? I personally am curious about how the new number crunching (render) engine works, more than additional features like openGL and interface redesign. Since we all are waiting for a new Bryce, there is a risk of buyng items we may not need, caught by the entuxiastic idea of owning new Bryce . But, we have a great power as customers: if we can resist a little bit, there will sure be a suitable offer for old Bryce 5 (or 4) ownwers. /matteo
