Hey for all you guys/gals having problems with 2.0b3, what's with all the mad faces? I think me an one other guy are having the worst problems with it and yet, I'm not mad. Hell, I'm happy to have something new to play with. Wouldn't it be boring if it all worked perfectly the first time?

Look, we signed on as beta testers by simply downloading the beta software. For some it works great, good for you. For some it doesn't, don't be pissed. The good news is we're finding bugs. The bad news is maybe you have to stick with release software for the time being while these bugs are worked out.

Everyone knew this was coming. What's to be surprised about. I'm glad as Hell that these guys released it this soon, many of you are enjoying it's new features as I type. A few of us will have to ride a few waves in the mean time, but I like excitement!

Oh, I should have cross posted this to bug reports, it's not just for "General" it's for everyone.

I agree, I am just so happy that it's here, a little inconvenience is a small price to pay for all of the new features. Personally I am having no problems yet, kinda wish Windows beta software was so refined....

I was actually happy to see my player UI lock up once. It makes me feel like Empeg guys havnt been completly holding out on us until its perfect. I can really appreciate the amount of new code and the amount of testing that must have already taken place to get us here today.

No frowns here!

My only problem was while driving to work today. I almost got into 3 accidents because I was playing with the new vis's.

We were going to put something in the release notes along the lines of Please ensure you try out all new features at home before docking your empeg in your car. This will reduce the risk of road accidents. Perhaps we should've.

I had the problem in almost running people off the road to get home to where my serial cable was to do the upgrade.

My empeg had a minor screen issue and is somewhere in the UK (Just got picked up by FedEX). My frown is due to sadness due to the waiting period....

And to boot, I even got to see it in action, but not play with it (Kazama showed it off this AM)

So, errors or not, just think, all the mad faces atleast get to try it out!!! ;)
