Beta on a software program means that it isn't done yet and you can patch and patch and patch.
I was thinking what else could we use Beta for? Like something on a car, a person, piece of random equipment, food and etc. I'm trying to come up with some comical ideas. Post yours! <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo-->
