Alex, there is no doubt that having a demo for individuals to test would be ideal. And if enough people push forward and put enough pressure on an FB, perhaps it will happen. I also believe that wow a lot of us will not buy this app the first comes out. A lot of people on this list will. We can ask them to scan for certain things that we like to check out. Yes, it's not the same as us doing it, but there are other ways to manage this. I just don't think it's with getting that worked up over. After all, one of the main reasons at this list is so beneficial is the fact that there are lots of guinea pigs out there. There are a lot of people who will buy apps and test them. We can learn from them. That's one of the main reasons I stay on this list along with being able to hopefully assist others on occasion. It wasn't for these facts. With all the extraneous messages that are passed back-and-forth, I would've unsubscribed along time ago.
