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.
