Thank goodness. It was sure getting tiring reading all this drivel
about what you consider to be proper beta testing methodology. If this
hasn't scared Atari off of doing Beta testing in the future, then
nothing will. I know for a fact that if I were in the final stages
of a products' development, gave a preliminary version of the
program to a few trusted friends to check out, and subsequently found
out that someone else had obtained a copy and was not only badmouthing
the preliminary version, but also my company, on a worldwide network,
then rest assured I would be pissed as hell as well.

Why don't you go buy one of those fire-sale 3B1's. That should keep
you busy complaining for a year or two. The rest of us will just
fumble our way along developing and learning. Guess we don't know any
better.
