As a beta tester for Windows 98 and Internet Explorer I was chosen at randon based of some surveys I answered from Microsoft. At the time I ran a business and they wanted to see how Win 98 worked for both personal and business sutuation.  I was also made  aware beta testers included average folk, IT folks, gamers and programmers.

I am quite sure  BB will be given the SRI program to test prior to it's release. If he has a hand in the scripting of the program so much the better as he seems to have a knowlege and explanations of things I cannot even begin to fathom..
Smith Micro had to even remind me how to engage MSCONFIG as I had not done this for several years and had simply forgotten

It was not my intent to tick anyone off but it would seem that his applicationa for how he uses Poser and mine are totally different.  PZ3's averaging 400 MB or more  are common place for me.

As I stated in my earlier post.. I was ticked off and wanted to rant, especially after doing everything the Smith Micro guys threw at me such as MSConfiging my system and requesting all the stuff I mentioned above resulting in over 8 pages of text that consumed 2.5 hrs of my time.
Plus the MSCONFIG did something to my system and I had to do a system restore and set it for two days befor the MSCONFIG and now everything seems to be working as it was.

I'm sure that some Beta Testers had huge libraries to create complex scenes and Push P-8 to it's limit.   It just irked me that Smith Micro tried to emulate my work without using Actual V-4 and M-4 characters  Casual Alyson and Ryan, or any G-2 figure does not compare to the slightly more complex meshes of M-4 and V-4 Personally I wish DAZ would make a M4 and V4 reduced resolution as they did for V-3 & M-3 

I even tried to create a lite V-4 and came up with a mesh using 42MB.. yet V-4++ is just 13MB larger so it really did not make much sense

I just want to get this software to work and I have been complying to all of Smith's Micro's demands to help resolve my problems.

And no disrespect here to any of the beta testers but  BB has stated he is not an artist. Are there any Artist here that were Beta Testers or did I miss anything in this thread Cuz I would like to hear some of the Pz-3 scenes that were used to test P-8s memory

Who kinows  when P-9 comes out Smith Micro could select myself or any other individual that went to the tech support page and filled out incident reports
