What, was there something wrong with your TI-4A?

Jeremy,

If you need stuff on the admin side tested, let me know.

I'd be happy to *moderate* the beta testers on the message boards and delete all of their fraudulent COTM votes.

Oh yeah... I'm a software engineer, and I'm runing Windows XP Home & Firefox or IE, your choice.

Jeremy,

While we typically use our laptop, the desktop machine has both IE and Netscape on it. The Operating System of that machine is Windows ME. Old enough for you?

I have dabbled in website management as I was our Astronomy club webmaster before the internet became popular until 2005 when I gave it up so I could cache more.

If you would like me to help, send me line through our user profile AstroD-Team

OK, I think we've got a good variety of beta testers lined up, so I'm going to stop accepting "applications". If you are running a browser not listed below, really want to help out, or just want to see the new site, send me an email.

Here is the beta tester list... thanks to the following 16 people/teams for volunteering:

rpaske - Mac with Safari browser
Folk Trakers - Computer savvy power users
Lostby7 - Computer savvy power user, Mozilla
EnergySaver - Computer savvy power user with slow dial-up
pcfrog - Computer savvy power user
Cache_boppin_BunnyFuFu - Bad computer karma, Opera
hogrod - Firefox and Opera under Linux
rubeeslpr - Mac with Safari browser
Timberline Echoes - WebTV, dial-up(?)
jthorson - Computer savvy power user, Pocket PC
kbraband - Grammar, english, and spell checker

Buy_The_Tie - Test admin side of new site
AstroD-Team - Computer savvy power users, older browsers
marc_54140 - Opera
djwini - Computer savvy power user
Coastiegirl04 - dial-up
Green Bay Paddlers - Computer savvy power users

There will be a total of 10 tasks I'd like all testers to complete, plus a couple bonus tasks. Target date for sending out the task list and questionnaire is Wednesday, March 22. I'd like to have feedback from all the testers by April 7.

Bonus? Like in caches?

Are you going to include a GC # so we can log our finds?

Oh!!?! I thought that is what this is all about!

Have we started yet? If so, capitalize the "E" in "English."

in case it creeps in, it's not "Hot Water Heater", it's "Water Heater". If it was hot already, why would you need to heat it. Opps, wrong job!

Depends! If you are operating a recirculating boiler, you heat the hot water condensate back into steam. So, that WOULD be a "Hot Water Heater". (Uh oh, I think all the lake water is affecting my brain.)

Darn, just when I thought this was just a residential crowd! But then actually, we could be throwing solar-thermal into this and using the sun to pre-heat water that might get heated more. Oh, never mind ... just forget I said anything.
