Calling for New Testers
I'm looking for testers for upcoming versions of Silk, Menu Master, Labels X, and FontCard. If you want to be a tester for any of those haxies (and only those haxies) either post your full name (first and last) here along with your email address or email said information to rosyna at this company dot com along with the name(s) of the product(s) you want to test. If you are going to make a comment here with said information and don't want your email address to be available to the public, then just fill out the URL field and your email address will be hidden to everyone else. Please note that it may be a while before some of these go into testing and once they do you'll likely get a bunch of emails about new versions in a short amount of time. And for the love of Pete, if you ask to be on any of the above product's lists, then submit feedback when you get a beta version. Even if that feedback is just "Works fine here, cowboy." We will not sell your email addresses or names. We also do not store the email addresses on any PCs at all so there is no chance of them being compromised. And this is only a request for the above products only.

I'd be happy to help test FontCard. I like I would like to beta test: I already test: Hope i can help! PS: Silk must get pretty ugly in Tiger :/ I wish you the best of luck on the coding, i know all the troubles you had with the last version. Posted by: Dave Forgash on May 26, 2005 6:30 AMOh poo... forgot to add Labels X to the list i would like to test for. Posted by: Dave Forgash on May 26, 2005 6:31 AMHi- I'd love to beta test Labels X, Menu Master, and FontCard. --Quentin Posted by: Quentin Smith on May 26, 2005 8:42 AMHeya I'm already on the lists, but I want to ask an important question as when working with Jason on MM, he recommended that I do a "Restart" versus a "Log Out" to implement the latest build. I loaded latest of FC and noted some strange happenings after the requisite "Log Out", a "Restart' cleared matters. It is best to "Restart" in 10.4.1? Or should I do a "Repair Permissions"? Okay...okay...I know...I know... ;) I am serious about the "Restart" question. Thanks. Posted by: CREB on May 26, 2005 9:16 AMCREB, no, restart will only work for APE 1.5.1 and MightyMouse, Xounds, and Windowshade (and maybe shapeshifter) if they aren't working and installed globally. Or you could just manually kill all their daemons. That'll work too without a restart. A logout isn't enough to kill those app's daemons. It does not apply to FontCard. However, the Font subsystem in OS X can get hosed (without the help of FontCard) and it might be a bear to get working again. I've had it die on me multiple times on the past because of the things I have to do to test FontCard. Posted by: Rosyna on May 26, 2005 9:19 AMPut me on the list for Silk and LabelsX. Would love to see both work properly on Tiger Posted by: Fons van den Berg on May 26, 2005 9:38 AMCREB, the restart thing was very much a special case, as Rosyna said a moment ago. In general, a logout does the trick. Posted by: Jason Harris on May 26, 2005 1:43 PMJason & Rosyna, I am finding out with 10.4.1 (at least for me) that if you do not heed the messages by installers, you run the risk of anomalies. I used to push the limits on all software updates, if several needed to be done, and sneaked them all in under one restart. 10.4.1 seems to be less forgiving and I will start doing a restart for all my installers. So far, I am not as happy with Tiger as I would like to be...maybe when Apple releases Tigress, I'll be happier? Posted by: CREB on May 26, 2005 2:11 PMHi, I'd like to test SILK and LabelsX. Thx. Cynthia Posted by: Cynthia Yeater on May 26, 2005 5:27 PMI would like to help out with testing Silk & Labels X.

Thanx Pete Posted by: Pete Pearce on May 28, 2005 10:57 AMI wouldn't mind testing silk if there is still room. Posted by: James Turner on May 28, 2005 8:10 PMI'd be willing to test Silk and MenuMaster if you still need new people. Geoff Posted by: Geoff Gilbert on May 29, 2005 12:09 AMIf you're looking for another beta tester I'd like to be on the team Posted by: Peter on May 30, 2005 2:25 PM I'd like to beta test any of the haxies.(Ienjoy the challenge of beta testing.(I have done beta testing for the last couple of years.For one example Personally, I would love to beta test silk. Of course, you might have too many testers already! Posted by: David on May 31, 2005 10:51 AMPlease consider me a guinea pig for Silk Looking forward to it! Thanks for all the unsanely hard work! Posted by: crooner on May 31, 2005 9:01 PMI would very much like to beta test Silk. I use Tiger on two machines, a G5 iMac and a G4 iBook, both as haxied up as possible, am almost never away from a Mac, and have used silk for as long as I can remember and miss it dearly. Posted by: Ozzpot on June 2, 2005 2:02 AMHaving previously paid for Silk I would be very happy to beta test the Tiger version. For ref, I have a G5 iMac and a 12" iBook. Here's hoping. Neil.
