I know, because my filter works. ;-)

He/she/it doesn't test real apps, either. LOL

I ran Arch for about six months last year. I liked its approach, the
rolling releases of packages without much tampering with what had come
from upstream. I also liked option of modular KDE, provided by the
Chakra Project.

I do test, but not just any and every app available. I test only those
I'm interested in, or for my friends/family, and only on my current OS.

I tested A/V and AntiMalware apps on my own Vista before I recommended
any to anyone else. I still test casual games sometimes, for several
small companies. I'm currently testing a recently updated add-on for
Thunderbird, too.

Mostly, though, I just do so to keep myself busy and entertained. ;-)

Thank you. It is nice to know I still have supporters in ACF.
