[sarcasm] Yes let's give everyone a system before its been tested so they'll all have the same problems, that'll save everyone so much time and frustration.[/sarcasm]

Really now? Its Beta Testing for a reason. Testing, recording, and reporting is ALL beta testing is about. I've worked for engineering companies before over the summer too and we sent out products such as new ecoders, gyros, and potentiometers for them to TEST and REPORT. When the product was released to all manufacturing companies those who didn't test product were happy that in the new iteration of each product, there were NO problems in the device. They didn't complain or argue about another tester company having more experience with the product.

Haven't we always said that FIRST is a microcosm of life? Its not fair, nothing is. Live with it. NI is still a corporation first. We are the consumers; who, if given a faulty product that hasn't been tested within the target audience (oh hey Luminary Micro) will complain and moan and cry about the problems we encountered.

Sorry if that sounded rude or harsh.
