Re: beta testing version

I'm agreeing with the people like SePICK and erServer.
I'm only being sort of cheeky in saying that they wouldn't have had a

it not been for the Open Source that they are leveraging off  of.
Making money? I don't know what they're plans are, but at some point I would
fully expect *someone* to make money.
