Well, this is a late reply, as i work
part-time and only read this this morning
I see many people replying and making
their excuses for not going to the "bug-a-thon" , and I also have many excuses
(dont live in Auckland, have two kids etc etc) BUT I dont think excuses are
needed.
I feel quite berated after reading this
email, and surely, (since we are paying thousands of dollars for the honour of
using Delphi), testing of the product is not our responsibility.
Surely the developers/testers who are being payed highly to develop/test the
product should wear this burden.
I intend to use Delphi .NET as soon as
it ships. Does my lack of participation in this bug-a-thon cancel my right
to moan about the bugs?

Subject: [DUG] Delphi 8 Bug-Find-A-Thon Response I must admit to
being astounded at the distinct lack of response from people from here. I have 7
people, which is good - but these have been rounded up by Distributech (we also
have one response from [EMAIL PROTECTED] - Jason Saggers)
- and I'm thankful for that.
If Delphi is your
tool of choice you have a real possibility here to affect its delivery quality.
You don't need to come for the entire six hours, come for just one or two - I
see people constantly complain about this or that bug - but with a chance
to be proactive do you do anything? Sure you aren't getting paid to do this and
you say you won't be doing .NET for years, but how many of you still write and
maintain Delphi 1 applications? Quite clearly not "none", but certainly not
many. You're going to be moving to .NET because Microsoft (bless their cotton
socks) have said so (and it really is a far, far better environment). Even if
you don't actually want to help by doing anything, even if you don't know
anything about .NET, come along anyway - you'd probably learn something useful!
And Delphi 8 ROCKS.
