All the betas after beta 5 are time bombed to quit working after 30 days.So far no problems,except with gradient color abnormalities with beta 16b.Must be a WIN XP thing...Im using WIN ME and have had very very few problems with any of the betas.Hopefully Mark will get things sorted and release a new beta shortly.Poor fella probably gets no rest,keeping us "apo-addicts" etertained. ;))
