Greetings; This whole discussion reminds me of an email I got a few days ago.
This particular company is working on a new and very interesting product and wanted me to be a beta tester for them. So far so good. The really hilarious part was that they wanted me to *pay* $99 for the privilege! I have personally tested and evaluated a bit of software and hardware in the last few years and I haven't paid for any of it, not even shipping and handling. And I got a free production version of the product when the testing was over. I have also installed, tested and evaluated four different flavors of L/390 and I didn't pay anything for them either. And I doubt very much that we will pay to evaluate any software in the future unless there is a 100% refund agreement attached. After all, why should I pay for benefit I didn't receive? And please don't anyone say that knowing the product is not of use to me is a chargeable benefit. I already paid for that knowledge in time and resources. Regards, Dennis
