I am an Iyonix user, and will ned to be given a good reason to upgrade. RO 5 is fine, it does what I want and has several features that Select/Adjust doesn't. Since I am happy with RO 5 I will need a good reason to replace it. If there is any possiblilty that any of the RO 5 functionality will get lost in the process, ROL would have to pay me to run Select/Adjust. ISTM that a simply putting the existing Select functionality on the Iyonix is not enough, in fact it is a backward step. What we need is a new OS version that combines the functions of both RO 5 and 4.xx in a backward compatible way. It might involve supporting two alterative APIs for some functions for example. I can't see that ever being achieved unless ROL and Castle are prepared to co-operate in its development.
