about the beta

I think you are correct ZB. The reason is as follows:

1. I DL'ed it immediately on my desktop, and didnt use it for a long time.

2. I DL'ed it recently on my laptop when I was away, and 10 tabled on it with zero problems

3. I then came home and tried 10 tabling on it from home, and it crashed like a maniac. However this is the version that I downloaded immediately when it came out. Thus I have never crased on the updated version.

yeah but v important to be able to play 10 instead of 8. its like anywhere from a 10-20% hourly wage increase. I think Ill give it one more shot until the official beta comes out.

For all math whizzes I said 10-20 because who knows, maybe I play slightly worse when 10 tabling instead of 8, but I dont thnik its a big deal.

How did you 10 table on your laptop? Are you layering with MTH or do you have a 1600x1200 and are tiling?

I have a large screen laptop and can do it with no overlap. I could even 12 table when that option becomes available, which I sure hope it does.

I was so stoked when the beta came out because I could 4-table on my laptop, thus making it unnecessary to buy a new 1600x1200 laptop (attaching my 21" to it) in order to 8-table. But now that I'm getting used to 8-tabling I want to be able to do it on my wireless laptop (or 10-table, for that matter).

Sigh. There's always something better (and more expensive).

Did somebody from Party say this might happen? I'm not always around on here.

ahhhh, Curtains. Why not 10-table the $10+1s? See how it works?

btw it crashed within the first 5 minutes. So went back to 8 tabling on the normal interface.

I'm not sure why everyone else seems to be having problems with beta crashing. I've been using it since it was posted in the Zoo without a single crash. Not one.
