There are no "amigaones" any longer, and nothing on the horizon to replace them.  Look elsewhere for a hobby.
Back away from the EU-SSR!

Keep in mind that most of the current beta testers paid thousands of dollars for the priviledge.  :crazy:
Time to move on.  Bye Amiga.org.  :(

It must be, otherwise the team would have a HUGE list of people wanting to become a betatester.

But then again, this statement was a good laugh :lol:

 And why do you have to be a A1 owner to become beta-tester? There is a beta version for the classic Amigas.
A1200 PPC user.

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. :-)

At any rate, all this is irrelevant since the beta program is closed. As far as I'm aware, at this point you can only be invited to become a betatester if you make extraordinary contributions in developing software.

Yes, or you could cross-compile.

cross compile and send the outputs to someone to test them? no, i want to do the tests by myself, i want to be a betatester. what about porting firefox?
