Hi Mathew,
->Two revisions later, I can't imagine spending money on them as "additional
->features." You'd think by r4, they'd be built-in. I can't imagine anybody
->calling the Yost Group to place their order for Disk #6's SKIN.AXP or #7's
-DISPLACE.PXP and, in the same breath, shelling out another $300 for Disk #1's
->monochrome filter and now commonplace lens flare.
Funny you should say that, but that's exactly what I just did. 3 months back I
bought #6 & #7, and yesterday I ordered disk #1 with my r4 upgrade because I
needed the Glow Ipas for a project.
What you describe is somewhat of a paradox, if I would've bought disk #1 when
it was released, and then had to "re-buy" it as part of a r3 or r4 upgrade, I
would feel like I'd spent the money twice and would be less motivated to
purchase the upgraded core version.
On the other hand, I kinda wish that development of previously released Ipas
routines would continue like the core 3ds product, so that I could enjoy some
of the new Ipas features (like previews, etc) in older Ipas routines.
-Heinz.
