Keep in mind that most of the current beta testers paid thousands of dollars for the priviledge.  :crazy:

money shall not be a problem. if its the only way to pay then i'll pay. there are quite a lot of interesting boards in production. no rumours but facts! everybody wants to have an amigaone compatible mainboard!

i wasn't aware that there is 4.0 for classic amigas. you mean an a4000 with ppcboard, dont you? ok, it may be classic amiga hardware as well. that depends on the needs of the establishment. if they want me to be a tester for amigaone, i will do this. if they want me as a tester for classic hardware, ill do that. its easy. :-)

... you can only be invited to become a betatester if you make extraordinary contributions in developing software.
dont i need the hardware and os first in order to contribute something to it?

There are no "amigaones" any longer, and nothing on the horizon to replace them.  Look elsewhere for a hobby.

the windows version of firefox sources does not need X. why not taking that? :idea:
