We have a few last spots for beta testers of our forthcoming communication program for MS-Windows. If you're interested in becoming a beta tester, please contact me by e-mail, indicating which kind of PC equipment you will be using (mainly video adapter type), and what kinds of host you'll be able to test the softwarw with (BBS, IBM mainframes on 7-bit lines, Tek 4014 supporting hosts, and VMS hosts are what we are mainly interested in). Signing of a non-disclosure WILL be required. -- Marco -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= "Xerox sues somebody for copying?" -- David Letterman -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

[...] The response to this call has been overwhelming to say the least. We have more than enough qualified candidates (I got almost 30 replies so far). I asked everybody to send also a postal address to mail the non-disclosure, but half of my replies bounced. Not having a postal address automatically escludes one from consideration. Please also understand that we'll select only 2 (possibly 3) testers, which will be contacted directly. Thank you very much. -- Marco -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= "Xerox sues somebody for copying?" -- David Letterman -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

The type of beta tester we are looking for is as follows: 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. -- Marco -- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= "Xerox sues somebody for copying?" -- David Letterman -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
