I see Runtime Revolution as, in some way, resembling Hinduism: A few core beliefs onto which many individual users and groups have grafted extraneous beliefs that integrate with the core ones to a lesser or greater extent.
Metacard is Advaita monism, having come out of Hypercard (the Vedic religion); Supercard ties up with Jainism (denying links with the mother religion). HyperStudio and HyperNext resemble some of the cults cooked up by misinformed westerners in that they superficially resemble Hinduism, but underneath they are something quite different (and, from my point of view, second-class goods). Runtime Revolution ( Dvaita and/or Vishishtadvaita ) can now be used with a number of GUIs: Saivism, Vaisnavism and Smarta Brahmanism. This comparison is in no way to be taken to denigrate Hinduism; it could, however, be taken as praise for Runtime Revolution :) And, inevitably perhaps, the most sacred word (the bija mantra) of Runtime Revolution has to be 'ROM'. sincerely, Richmond Mathewson. PS. And if you think that is bad ask for my metaphor using Christianity! ____________________________________________________________ A Thorn in the flesh is better than a failed Systems Development Life Cycle. ____________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
