Kevin Curtis (Developer): "Thanks to everyone who downloaded and helped make the W.A.S.P. Deviations Virtual Gallery Project a huge success via the beta testing and questionnaire responses! Rather awesomely I had over 1,000 downloads of my W.A.S.P. Virtual Gallery Dissertation Project in only its small limited beta test run. The project went on gain me a 'First Class Honours' at Northampton University in England on my course BSc Computing (Graphics & Visualisation) and also won 'Best Technology Dissertation 2011' which it was awarded in October!
Seriously though you can stop replying to the feedback questionnaire now. xD

P.S Keep your eyes peeled for a new update coming soon with various fixes.
A detailed list of fixes and improvements will be available soon as well as new download links. (The previous megaupload links no longer work due to the host site being closed.)
Meanwhile anyone wanting to try the previous beta email us at: waspdeviations@hotmail.co.uk with the title 'Beta v0.1 Request' and the old beta version will be provided to you."
