KTamas Posted November 27, 2003 Share Posted November 27, 2003 Thanksgiving is tomorrow. Everyone just calm down and be thankful that you got a gift. eh...There's no thaksgiving in Hungary :whistle: And btw, I think i'M the youngest Office 2003 tester:I'm only 14...(I've tested with my father's name, he allowed me to do it :)) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/105855-office-2003-beta-gift/page/19/#findComment-1410483 Share on other sites More sharing options...
srstakey Posted November 27, 2003 Share Posted November 27, 2003 (edited) (As you could have guessed) I live in the US...and it's kind of funny because I too am 14 (b-day 1/11/89). Have you really been using your father's name? For some reason MS has been allowing me to test under my own name, with my age set to under 18....how interesting. FYI: The following attachment is my orange radio.

werejag Posted November 27, 2003 Share Posted November 27, 2003 I wish people would stop bitching about their gifts. You get what you get, you don't like it; tell someone who cares. :p you seem to care by posting in this thread.

tkyoshi Posted November 27, 2003 Share Posted November 27, 2003 Actually the Age policy is that if you are under 18 then you are only allowed to test so much per week. Dunno how they monitor that though. Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/105855-office-2003-beta-gift/page/19/#findComment-1410543 Share on other sites More sharing options...
werejag Posted November 27, 2003 Share Posted November 27, 2003 Yeah, free speech is good. But when the same people complain about their "gifts" and how dissapointed they are. It get's damn boring. You've had your say, you hate your gift from Microsoft. Ok, in life **** happens. Accept it. If this is the worst thing that happens to you in life then your lucky. deal with my free speech. you have the right to leave Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/105855-office-2003-beta-gift/page/19/#findComment-1410550 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Betelgeuse Posted November 27, 2003 Share Posted November 27, 2003 you seem to care by posting in this thread. ? Sorry ? I have an interest in beta testing and a general interest in what the actual gifts are, not hearing a handful of individuals **** and moan about their radios. It's quite simple, if you expect gifts for your efforts and do not appreciate the honor in testing software and helping to make it better.. Then STOP Beta Testing, if very flaming easy really!

Betelgeuse Posted November 27, 2003 Share Posted November 27, 2003 For those who haven't received their gifts yet and are getting worried, here is a copy of an email I just received from Microsoft. --- Dear ................ The gifts were shipped out later than expected, there are just going out now. Thank you for you patience, we appreciate your participation.

ryanmcv Posted November 27, 2003 Share Posted November 27, 2003 eh...There's no thaksgiving in Hungary :whistle: And btw, I think i'M the youngest Office 2003 tester:I'm only 14...(I've tested with my father's name, he allowed me to do it :)) Trust me, you're not the youngest. I know a 12-year-old who tested it. He used his own name but lied about his birthdate. Anyways, I got my radio in the mail tonight as well. It is blue (my favorite color ;)). The reception on the radio seems absolutely great. I can't hear any static on any channel. I don't see why you are all bitching; it is a nice gift. It's a lot better than a certificate and a pen that you'll probably misplace. I can use this on the airplane or whatever. I would have liked a copy of Office 2003 Pro, but I realize that MS can't afford to give it away to tens of thousands of people for free. :) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/105855-office-2003-beta-gift/page/19/#findComment-1410595 Share on other sites More sharing options...

It costs them ~50 cents to stamp out a CD if not less. 15000 testers, do the math ;) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/105855-office-2003-beta-gift/page/19/#findComment-1410650 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Betelgeuse Posted November 27, 2003 Share Posted November 27, 2003 No matter what it costs or doesn't cost Microsoft, it's up to them to choose what gifts to send or what not to send. Not sure I understand the point your making though, in all fairness.
