I am concerned to hear of the Mac OSX slowdown!?!? - thats utterly ridiculous! - the most efficent and supposedly fastest operating system ever, coupled with the best hardware/processor/system buss (ie: the G4) there has been, with a program syupposedly written for that system, and its slower????? - whats going on Corel?? - that apart from a few other features that are just about worth having, was a prime incentive for me to upgrade! - I heard it said previously by someone that OSX would bring about a 40% increase in render times in br5!? - what happened to that then?? I absolutely adore Bryce 4, despite some limitations which should have been sorted out a long time ago, and was dearly looking forward to a Bryce 5, but I must admit, when Metacreations bailed out I was daunted about its future, then there was talk of Adobe getting involved and that was exciting, but when I heard Corel had it, I did wonder whether they had the balls to do something professional with it, given that they have had nothing much else to shout about. Ah well, only time and the new batch of guinea pigs can tell us whats really wrong with it and whats worth having!
