- I am GLAD that the beta was removed from hobbes. The last thing developers
- want to see is blatent breaches of copyright even for beta software. If this
- had been allowed to continue then IBM may have decided to return to the pre
- World wide DAP beta test mode. If you know somebody with a CD-ROM then pay
- $15 to get the CD and copy the disks. The other option is to ask nicely
- somebody in your local area who has the beta to make a copy for you from
- thier allowed 10 copies. My company is currently only using 5 of my alloted
- 10 copies. ( The rest are however already allocated )
-
- Please support the devlopment efforts of developers large and small BUY
- software that you use and pay the poor souls who write shareware otherwise
- they will stop developing software.
