It's a pity Corel seem like a bunch of dicks because I like their s/w. For example, Corel Draw is 10X easier to use than Adobe Illustrator, which doesn't even have a font preview function!!! <<<:< Mind you, I think many of the bigger companies are going the same way. Last month I had an argument with some asswipe from Macromedia. I informed them of a very large bug in Flash & they said they'd get me a fix. Two months later I e-mailed to say where is my fix and they e-mailed back saying that I had to pay for my support now because I had purchased the package over 3 months previously! I attempted to explain to the retard that I had reported the problem two months before but they were unable to comprehend that high level of logic. Anyway, a little off topic. I don't think Corel will abandon Bryce, especially if rumours of Bryce 6 are true. I hope they don't, as what else is there? I've never used Vue, but my opinion of it was tainted ever since one of the top UK arts mags (can't recall which) stopped half way through their review process saying it was the worst piece of software in terms of reliability that they had ever tested. I still have the article somewhere, saying that unless a completely new version is released, nobody should even think of purchasing it. I assume a new version HAS come out (this was about 7 months ago) but still, I wouldn't trust it.
