I just got home from COMP USA, with my new $99 upgrade to Bryce 5. Sure enough when I installed it, my old serial didn't work, so I called Corel. I had to wait online for 20 minutes but they gave a new serial number. The service was slow, but they did take care of it in about one minute, I give them credit fot it. The call should be a free 1-88 number, it was a long distance number instead, but at least they took care of it. I'm rendering a test scene now, checking out the depth of field and trees. I do like the new interface, other than the renders being slow(they always were) I can't complain yet, it seems to be running fine. MMMM my words taste good, hey pass the salt & pepper!!!!LOL kaom
