It appears they are offering betas to more than just those of us who pre-ordered. Then again, the zot said we would be in on a pre-beta, which I would assume either means we get an almost beta version to play with or we get the beta before the ‘public’ beta is sent out.

It’s either that or MacZot misrepresented the deal or the Disco devs aren’t going to follow through. Hoping those are the case…

Hmmm… Maybe it’s an app-getter program, to go along with their app-remover program. Or maybe not.

Just got an e-mail from Austin Sarner (beta @ discoapp.com, if you want to check your mail filters) announcing the launch of the Disco Blog. Apparently sent to those of us who preordered. Still no definite word on the blog as to what Disco is/does, but does say it’s an optical disk utility that accomplishes a realistic goal most Mac users have. Also, a beta will be sent soon to those who preordered.

I never got the “Disco Admission Ticket” e-mail. Nothing in my Junk mailbox; should I be concerned?

i’m sure we’ll get some kind of invite email when the site is ready. hopefully, the email wont be as prone to being lost as this first one, though.

Yeh I got the email too but I’m not able to figure out where I can use the ticket. Do I just have to wait and check the site daily until I can enter the number on it?

Please somebody explain.

Yup, I got the email too. Except, the website that it points to doesn’t really have much going on. I remain clueless.

i got a very inocuous email today titled “Disco Admission Ticket” with no text content, just an image like a movie ticket with an order number on it.

I nearly trashed it, cuz it looked like spam. thank goodness i didnt.

everyone else, be on the lookout.

So… my Order History says that my order is still pending… but I sent in the money… so do I get a receipt or something?

This is not to be rude or condemning at all, but with my deepest respect:

I find it amusing and puzzling that so many people are like:

“Well, it’s only a few bucks, so I’ll drop my coin”

I figure it’s thrilling to some people not knowing what they’re buying, and that excitement is worth the few bucks, but isn’t it being a zealot? Like: “Woah, Maczot says so I’ll do…”

(no insult intended)

My hat off for really new and fresh marketing strategies. And new ways to increase revenue. It proves that useful, but inexpensive shareware can be a healthy financial model.

Anyway, besides from that, I sure do hope myself it’s a virtual cd-burning app, so I can free my iTunes purchases from the m4p-curse. Whoi wonders if I specifically want an iPod in 5-10 years time…

Well, if that’s the app, then I’ll probably kick myself for not doing like you all did and drop the coin now and gettting it cheaper. Anyway…

Have a nice day people;-)
