You mean Jerry Springer I think. Jenny is still a little mild. <g>
Truth of the matter is that you've got a company that was hungry for
beta sites and after several of us jumped in to offer our assistance
"for free" (btw I DO believe that everyone involved probably busted
their asses like I did. Remember, it WAS an exciting project at the
time) I think most of us feel burned or "brushed off". Time doesn't
come cheap anymore. I'm not "the Post Group" and haven't made my
living off 3D Studio yet. I do however love this product and spend
every extra hour glued to my pc. I have worked on several beta
projects and MOST developers are more than greatful and rewarding.
My greatest reward is knowing that the time I spend will go toward
the growth of better tools which benefits the entire 3DS community.
For the past 6 mos. I have been virtually unemployed as far as $$$
goes but I have spent approx. 10 hrs. a day doing beta work. Guess
that makes me a professional beta tester? Now I have just taken a
new job with a Civil engineering group and will finally be doing
real work in the 3D Studio visualization arena. Puts me in a real
good position to make educated requisitions for software which will
serve their pourpose. Although I'll have to admitt that the main
reason I took this job is that they already have 30 Pentium 90's
& 100's running NT and Novell.
