BetaTesters...Getting the word out
-
Now that was a cool :cool: response! Thanks for the vote of encouragement and some other ideals. I'm not looking at this to be my "MAJOR" source of income, but it's something I enjoy doing even away from work. And I figure I can save up any money I may make, if at all, and put it away to but some more cool libraries, tools, and VS .NET. Since my current company has no plans on buying it :-( And I just have to have the latest toys out :-) Oh yeah and take my son to the matinees too...whew almost left that one out! :-O Sam C ---- Allsys Technologies http://www.allsystech.com "Making software simpler..."

Pitty that they can't automate that process a bit more and get the submissions done in less time. Colin Davies wrote: you are giving me the scares now! Ugh ! Sorry Colin, that wasnt my intent. You have to keep on keeping on though. I was prepared to not renew my domain, kill my account on RegNow and give up. A couple weeks later I got my first registration. If you build it, they will come. ;P Funny thing is, that the hackers had a keygen for my apps faster than several of the software sites had listings. Go figure. :omg: Good luck, Frank

ThoHave you ever heard of punctuation? You only used one comma in that entire post! It had great difficulty following the flow correctly. E.g.: You said: I put it in my CP sig my Email sig My Ng's sig and then posted in heaps of forums etc Sam normally Ansering Qu's but sometimes asking them etc. Where you should have said: I put it in my CP sig, my Email sig, My Ng's sig, and then posted in heaps of forums, etc, Sam, normally Answering questions but sometimes asking them etc. (And yes, the comma is allowed before that and, as it is part of a list, and, no, you should not have added an apostrophe to “questions” - unless Qu's is an accepted abbrieviation in NZ?) In fact, as the sentence itself was badly constructed, you *should* have said: I put it in my CP sig, my Email sig, my Ng's sig, and then post it in heaps of forums, etc - normally Answering questions, but sometimes asking them. (Note the final etcetera was unnecessary as there are only two options available and you have stated both, and the hyphen-appended phrase could be enclosed in parenthesises instead. The final comma is optional, but helps define the correct flow of the sentence) And as I'm feeling particularly pedantic tonight, none of the above should really have been used as the “it” you refer to has not been previously identified... :rolleyes: You could also try shorter sentences. If you keep them short they are easier to read. They also have more effect during an argument or debate. Just keep them short and to the point. Not really long and rambling and without any inline punctuation etc to break up the flow into logical stages and prevent people like me from getting eye strain because they have to read the entire sentence about four times and try to guess at the intended meaning given all the possibilities that a lack of punctuation creates. (My English teacher would be proud, where it not for the fact he despised me) Seeing as you are not American, you have no excuse... I think you’ve jumped on one too many deer in your time. ;P ________________ David Wulff http://www.davidwulff.co.uk "The best way to accelerate a Win9x machine is at 9.81m/s2" - Annon

Yeah I take the whole protection vs cracking setup, as a bit of a challenge, No matter what you do you'll get cracked at sometime! But I find it a fun game to play. :-) Regardz Colin J Davies

I put it in my CP sig my Email sig, my Ng's sig, and then post it in heaps of forums, etc - normally Answering questions, but sometimes asking them. It should be: I put it in my CP sig, my Email sig, my Ng's sig, and then post it in heaps of forums, etc - normally Answering questions, but sometimes asking them. You forgot a comma after CP sig. ;P There is a difference in knowing the path and walking the path.
