Time for the IYONIX users to cancel their subscription I guess. The newly found spirit of cooperation in late 2004 (if it ever existed outside of press releases) seems to have completely vanished.

I own an Iyonix and have never had a Select subscription and I am afraid I am not now inclined to. RO5 *is* being updated, it *does* work and I am happy enough with it (it also costs *nothing*).

So as far as I am concerned ROL should be trying to convince *me* that Select is a good idea and not putting up (as Steffen said) an arbitrary barrier.

ROL in the past said that if Iyonix users took Select subscriptions that Select would be ported to Iyonix, now it's that if 100 *new* subscribers join it will. The reality is that *if* Ad6 have paid for RO Select for the A9 (as Q stated) they're hardly likely to be pleased if RO Select for Iyonix becomes available before the A9 is well and truly out there. One gets the feeling that Iyonix users would once again be disadvantaged (as Iyonix Select would be "held up" until A9Home hit the streets). The alternative is simply to keep using Iyonix (with RO5 which is fine enough), don't take out Select subscriptions, and if Select does get ported it gets ported (and can be considered as an worthwhile upgrade) if not - it does not. I've somehow managed without Select so far (the savings I've made have been used to buy good software that does not descriminate against Iyonix users - like Techwriter and Artworks....)

If Select was out on Iyonix I feel enough people would make it worth ROL's time/effort. Thing is several years ago, if memory serves me correctly, ROL hinted that if Iyonix owners kept their Select subscriptions going that they might produce a Select for Iyonix. Now the goal posts have uprooted and moved 100 yards left (now they need 100 *new* subscribers to guarantee the porting to Iyonix).

At this point I'd want to see Select *first* on an Iyonix before I'd commit any money to it. As it stands RO5 works and works well enough that not having Select is *not* a problem for me. As I said the money I save on pointless Select subscriptions has allowed me to purchase software from other companies that are willing to support Iyonix.

I can see your point entirely. ROL keep saying one thing about Select for Iyonix and doing something entirely different.

However, the fact that a version of Select for Iyonix of some description does exist, must at least carry favour. However, I fear ROL may just be about out of favours when it come to Select and Iyonix.

Instead of making comments here and there, Paul Middleton should take a leaf out of Castle's book i.e. produce the product, then ask for money.

Many Select subscribers kept their subscriptions alive in the hope to see an IYONIX Select version soon - after all, RO Ltd. told them to do so and have said before that all work on Select was of course 32bit mode neutral.

Today, after RO Ltd. have repeatedly failed to come up with the goods and have not yet expained in what technical way they want to implement an IYONIX Select, many IYONIX users have simply given up.

The almost secret "Select on IYONIX" presentation at Wakefield should give a good indication of the interest RO Ltd. have in supplying IYONIX owners with Select.

By the way, the last official press release from RO Ltd. clearly said that RO Ltd. are committed to release IYONIX Select in 2005. I am not sure why Paul Middleton now says the opposite. It is the lack of a clear, understandable strategy that pisses off IYONIX users. To many IYONIX users who are or were Select subscribers it increasingly looks like RO Ltd. only ever wanted their money without even thinking about giving something back.
