invitation: beta testing for access

[marc]

hello,

with a new version and a new year just around the corner we would like to invite _you_ to apply for beta testing future versions of the Virus TI operating system.

we're looking for tech savvy testers who comprehend what beta testing means: spotting bugs before they hit the entire user base. on the bright side though, having the chance to influence the TI to a degree, others might not have the chance to.

send you applications to: betatestapplications@virus.info

please include a brief description of your setup and if you don't mind, profile yourself a little.

best, marc

Marc, that is fantastic news. Do you have a ballpark timeframe as to when the beta testing phase will begin?

[Hollowcell]

I'd be happy to take on this difficult task Mark.
But of course you'd have to send me a TI first. :D

Yeh - this is indeed excellent news :)

Other beta programs Ive been on have been quite interesting and its allways great to get closer to the development of something you really like - but it definately aint for everyone.

If you need your gear to meet deadlines, gain income etc - then be warned - beta programs can be very frustrating under such contraints, also be real careful about patches created in betas - I should think with the TI you should be OK, but some stuff Ive been in beta's for, it was a case of write down on paper what you did so you can re-create the patch on the next beta update and finally the ship version :)

If you have the patience to live with you're gear being too buggy to make much use for a week at a time, and yet are willing to keep at it and keep poking it and can support yourself with some unpleasent side effects of beta code (trashed PC for example in a worst case scenario with beta audio drivers) - then definately apply, you will probably enjoy it if accepted ;)

Please forgive me in advance and I may get scorned for this but aren't all current TI owners beta-testers anyway...


Ouch!

Will be getting one in a couple of months, perhaps once everyone is happy their TI is working as it should...

But now people can be Beta testers for the Beta testers!

Seriously though, I can understand why Access would want to do this. It's much better to get feedback from a selected user base, instead of having the Access help centre inundated with customers complaining.

I hope they get the bugs sorted soon though. That way they can spend time incorporating the Hypersaw into the C series OS. :D

[Khazul]

Well if its anything like other similar programmes then...

What happened to the original Beta testers? Did they get paid off like the guys from China Syndrome?
