Beta testers
How do I become a beta tester? I am anxious to see how version 2 looks. Thanks.

Beta testing usually goes on the premise of what operating system you are running, and a few other paramaters. As far as I know, everything is about already covered in general and no other testers are really needed at this point. You may get an answer or you may not. Realize that Beta testing can also goof up and cause problems that you would need to figure out and fix yourself. Thats the nature of the "testing" part.

If you put "May cause spontaneous combustion." in the disclaimer, people would still download the Beta. They want to see something new that bad!

I've got more than a dozen systems in my house, I can test on a Mac Mini, PCs, different generation ATI, Nvidia, and Matrox GPUs, dinky onboard video from multiple vendors, dual monitor support, triple monitor support, widescreen, Intel, AMD, AMDx64, and that's just off the top of my head... I'm a frickin' resource...
![]() But in all reality I'm not looking for that much work, all I really want is to see the new stuff before anyone else... ![]() ![]()

There are generally bugs in anything new, and there have been several problems found in this new version that are currently being worked on and ironed out. Testing has its rewards, but it also has its problems, and is generally alot more than just looking at something new.

Doc's not a beta tester? That's odd.

So are beta testers allowed to post screen shots?

Wow - rocks and plants and fish!
![]() ![]() I don't think I need to drool too much over Goldfish - I've got room at my new pad to think about a proper pond, so I'll be reviewing the suggestions that have been made here in the past. Thanks guys - without your input I wouldn't even be considering this; not seriously anyhow. ![]() ![]()
