I suppose "Apolyton Ultimate" would have been a bit pointless...

Hmmm...Apolyton is already "Super". Ever thought about "Apolyton Gold" (In the spirit of gaming, not actual gold )

Hey Dan, sorry your not in. When you get this message, could you please return our call? We are all curious as to what is going on in the two headed mind of Apolyton.

*PLATO hopes Dan's machine isn't full.

during the weekend we might make a call for daring beta testers on the subscription mechanism.

most probably not(we want to present the whole thing when it's ready(e.g. along with a faq, some short guide on the process, the rules, etc), but beta testers will know(but asked not to publicise )

What do these entail? Are they items that can be cleared up relatively quickly, or are they involved?

well the whole thing would be to test the paying process. if you're not interested in becoming subscribers, then you obviously dont qualify for beta testers

of course these testers will be informed of the whole package plus i have the idea of allowing them to choose a very very low priced choice that would give them just one month, so that people who just want to help(at a ridiculous price) do this.

anyway, in the end i could just use my two visa's and give away some 1 month subscriptions to some people


and to give you some info, our choices will be 6 months, 12 months and lifetime...
