Anyone who wants to be a beta tester is certainly a hobbyist.
Productivity is definitely not their goal.

In my years in the data processing business the most productive shops
were always at least one release behind.



I beta tested on a spare machine.

Like I said, hobbyist.
It does make me wonder how much you contributed to the B test if you
were not actually doing work on it.



Wonder all you like...or not. I was enough of a "contributor" to be a
Windoze beta tester for many years and iterations, starting with the
crappy 20-diskette distros and the once a week updates.

How much did that job pay?
