Ive done the survey for it.

[Sensayshun]

Would beta testing require internet access as the machine i'd install on would not be connected?

It's not listed in the requirements but I want to make sure.

**edit**took the survey anyway, what kind of things do they want and how does making me a beta tester help them? Do I end up sending a report on what I thought about it or what**/edit**
