Tim et. al.,
I agree it would be nice to get input from TS 5.0 beta testers. I am not such a
tester. However, I did test another product some years ago. In order to become a
beta tester I had to agree (in writing) that I would not discuss any issues
regarding the product until the product was released. Perhaps TS 5.0 testers are
under similar agreements.
Cheers,
Peter Perry
