If they weren't going to incorporate any fixes or changes into the product, then there wouldn't be any point in having a beta. Does that mean they're going to add an entirely new function that isn't there now if you suggest it? Probably not, but that doesn't mean they won't consider adding it later. I definitely plan to install it and kick the tires a bit. The more people who try it out, the better the chance of finding and fixing bugs before it is released. And the more people who send feedback about features that are missing, the more likely they are to add them down the road.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26204193.post-87504836359236853872007-07-10T19:10:00.000-07:002007-07-10T19:10:00.000-07:00Randy- it does NOT disappear...IT stops functionin...Randy- it does NOT disappear...IT stops functioning...those are TWO totally different things on a computer...and since the FILE is so BIG that is a lot of space for a program that does NOT even WORK.
