> Yes i know, but do you know the Murphy's law? There is always something that goes wrong, you have to do an hard ppc beta test too.
Mind you, of course there are tests on ppc, still, most bugs (and therefor most work) occurs on 68k. And obviously exec2 is debugged on ppc entirely.
> And if the beta stage is so advanced why don't show the "so advanced beta testet ppc version" in all his glory and kill my frustation!
As Hyperion already mentioned several times, they aim to make a best possible first impression when demoing - fair enough imo. Anyway, I can understand your being frustrated but theres not much to do about it except to ask for a bit more patience - things cant and wont be hurried.
> In my opinion a weekly status report would be definitely the best solution to keep confidence alive.
Well, maybe. Then again it would be weekly additional work, and all people involved are already working quite hard afaics. |
