I'd volunteer in a heartbeat. I think it is important for a company like CBM to have actual users with no commercial interest in the product as testers. There would be no conflicts of interest and the company would benefit from a representative of the total user population they are targetting. Your comment in the previous message about using only those who take the time and trouble to become certified developers as testers is rather narrow minded. For example, I have absolutely no interest in programming the Amiga, nor have I any interest in developing hardware for it. What benefit could I derive from becoming a certified developer, knowing full well that I have no intention of developing anything, other than to enrich Chairman Gould? I do, however, have an interest in USING the Amiga in a number of areas. —- Unless, of course, it is really true that the Amiga is only a hacker's machine, and CBM has no interest in serving anyone not in that niche.
