I read your responses, and the first thing I did was perform the same comparisons you did relative to my personal experience with HC since I stood in line to get a box the first day it was released in my area... the funny thing is that most of the things you mention you didn't need were things I longed for in the stacks I was building, or had to have some extraordinary workaround to accomplish the goals I was targeting. Not to belittle any of your comments, or the genius of the people who built HyperCard - quite the opposite - the point is that HyperCard (and the other xTalks that followed, including Revolution), were/are used by a wide variety of people with a diverse set of experiences, markets, needs, and desires. So while we may have opposite opinions of where Rev falls compared to HC, I respect your opinion nonetheless. As to how much better/worse/the same Rev is in comparison to HC, while it would be a n interesting roundtable discussion, the only thing I can say is "your mileage may vary" (YMMV). :-) Ken Ray Sons of Thunder Software, Inc.
