[admin]

@garioch7,

Thanks to Phil for testing, glad to see everything's working fine. Have a nice day!

Best regards,

Another three weeks have passed, so here are the results of my latest three-week testing cycle of MR8 vs ETBH vs HBSP.

I also want to acknowledge, with sincere gratitude, the excellent suggestion by @Bespoken that these regular posts of my testing cycles should have a "Summary Table."  I will be including those tables in all future posts.  If anyone else has suggestions to improve these posts, please PM me.

Thanks again, @garioch7. It would be even better if more users could provide additional test data.

Have a nice weekwnd!

@admin,

It would be even better if more users could provide additional test data.

I totally agree with you.  I would love to see more testing results being posted here regularly.  They would not have to be comparisons with other products.  Even reports of HBS performance on multiple platforms would add much more clarity as to how HBS performs on many different systems, thereby providing valuable feedback to the Hasleo Team.

Have a great day.

Regards,
Phil
