I recently placed an order with Corel.com for Bryce5, I had to order it from the States because it's not available in Europe. This was just before I heard about Mac versions only being available on special order. So once I heard the news about them dumping Mac users I e-mailed them to ask them to make my order a Mac version. A week later I got a reply saying phone them. Not much help since by then my order had already been dispatched. I have just received another e-mail which I'm posting here because I am SERIOUSLY P'd OFF!!! "Thank you for contacting Corel Customer Service. The order you placed was indeed for the PC version of Bryce 5. We are not actually carrying a version of Bryce for the MAC. Since your order has already shipped, I invite you to call 1-800-772-6735 to set up a return for the order. We will provide you with return instructions at that time, and credit your credit card with the amount of the order. We are available between 8:30 am and 7:30 pm EST, Monday to Friday." WELL THANKS VERY MUCH! The bottom line is, I really want Bryce, I don't want to return my order but it's PC only. Anyone have any suggestions? I have a legitimate copy of Bryce now so this isn't WAREZ talk!! Two ideas occur to me, 1) Some demos can be enabled with a legitimate serial number, does anyone know if there are any Bryce demos around like that? I have a 30 day demo but there isn't anywhere to enter the serial number that I can see. 2) I believe that Bryce is a platform independent app. That is the code is the same for PC and Mac, so is there any way I could install the files on a PC and then transfer them to my Mac? I know I'm clutching at straws here, but I've been after this programme for over a year and now that I've bought it, I CAN"T USE THE DAMN THING! I'm now going away to cry in a corner :o(
