Gotta love the Outlaw's for going out and looking for beta testers! They must really want me, they sent me the e-mail 5 times!! Everyone
should sign up! I think it would be so much fun to be part of the team that test Outlaw's equipment. Maybe once your selected, they would fly you in to their secret hideaway, do the secret handshake, and give you secret training.
Then they would show you their new, 75 driver,
6,000,000 watt sub-woofer, or the new Dolby Digital 42.7 surround processor! It could happen...

Could happen...

On the other hand, I heard a rumor that before they let you into the secret hideaway, you have to pass a "beta tester test" - they hand you a plain black box about the size of a power amp with no buttons, connections, or instructions and tell you to get it to reproduce the lowest frequency from soundhound's organ music CD's. Of course, that rumor might not be true...

After filling out the beta tester form, I couldn't help but ponder the possibility of an Outlaw LCD/DLP/Plasma type display. Several questions on that form about displays, what kind of display, display connections, receiver to display connections.....new receiver (1070) with DVI outputs?!? Perhaps the making of a 50"-60" DLP/LCD with HD capabilities for under $1500!

There were indeed a lot of Video-phile type questions in there...maybe somethign a little less ambitions like a video switch/upscaler may be in the works (I'd buy one )

hehe,
I was thinking the same thing. I haven't seen a call for this since before the 950 came out. Anyway, the 4th or 5th copy of mail did crack me up.

I figure there is a problem with their software or somebody clicked submit a few too many times.

or they could be selling our data... man do i hope i am one of the lucky ones.

Hello All,

There was a glitch in the software program that was used to send the "Call For Beta Testers" newsletter. Unfortunately, it appears a good many of you received multiple copies. We are truly sorry for this inconvenience and expect to have this resolved before our next mailing.

Not so fast buddy! They sent me 6. I'm in front of you. :p

okay ... can anyone beat six copies of that email? :p


Gonk,

The rumor I heard was that they were going to send all of us beta test applicants old Model 1050's ... dismantled. We have to reassemble 'em into working units before they offer us a chance. And to make it really challenging, they're going to give us just enough solder to do the job ... if you run out before having a working radio ...

Or was the rumor really that any potential applicant won't be considered until they can write a review as clearly and concisely as this ? >

Of course, if the latter rumor is true, I'm in deep doo doo!

pat----

ps; and I don't care what the email said ... I hope I was one of the first submitted (w/in about 3 minutes of receiving the first email notice ).

I had an error in my email configuration which forwarded these emails to me twice so I received 12. Does that count ?
