helloooooo? GAMMA testing?! ... water filling my helmet is the least of my worries!

In our defense, most manuals are written in Spanglish or something else that can't be understood anyway. When I was designing software my boss would say "If it isn't intuitive to be used without remembering, maybe it isn't worth using."

it took me 2 years, and i had to be linked to it from another thread.

I am a loyal Canon guy at this point, but I am very glad to see the coming inclusion of other brands. This can only add to the great amount of information that is brand agnostic.

Thanks so much, Pekka, for your hard work as well as for the hard work of everyone that makes up the POTN admin and moderator community.

cheers!

I see, there are a few more things to be done on the beta before it is unleashed to the wild wild wild internet dot com

we can assume only a few...

The only thing I can think is "good grief how much work was that" - and honestly, I don't want to know.

But it looks great - really great. It will be really interesting to see it in action.

There is only one thing I worry about a bit: JavaScript will drain batteries quicker on mobile devices than regular HTML/CSS, will it not?
Whether this is a problem is another question - it might be insignificant.
Behaviour of AMASS on BlackBerry 10 and Tablet OS 2.1 will also be interesting. (The vBulletin Forum works well on BlackBerry 10)

Anyway - I think all I can say is Congratulations!
Mainly for having the dedication to stick to such a complex and extensive topic for so long.
