Please no more requests!  100 replies in 24 hours is certainly too 
overwhelming when we have space for only 5 beta testers of the typed
we asked about.  Among the ones we ALREADY received we'll select 10
that will received non-disclosures.  Out of the ones that will return the
non-disclosure (we assume a 70% return) we'll select five.

40% of the people indicated that their "wife" or "roommate" would fit
the category.  It is unlikely that we'll select anybody who sent this
type of reply, since it would defeat our purpose of having a user that
can't get ANY help besides what we give in the program.

I have replied to everybody so far, to ensure that I can reach you
by mail (that is also a requirement).

Thanks for the warm response.
