Pondering the many posts in this thread I'm not sure I could contribute
much of value, since Chipp covered many of my own thoughts, esp. re. the
usefulness of a US presence and the need for a completely unambiguous
differentiation between the pro and hobbyist products.
This distinction still irks me. I have never had the need to compile
any of my stacks, hypercard, metacard, or RR. But as I have written
thousands of them, and use them daily in my lab, I would count myself
as a ``pro'' user, not a ``hobbyist''. However, just because a
DreamCard-like model fits my needs doesn't mean that I don't need the
increasingly-many add-ons that come only with the ``pro'' version.
Hence, if a distinction needs to be made, stick to the one RR sensibly
chose: DreamCard for those who don't need to produce stand- alone apps,
and RR for those who do. The engine, add-ons, plug-ins, cross-platform
use, etc. should otherwise be the same for both. And no one needs to
be disparaged in the process.
My apologies, Dr. Vokey. I didn't mean to seem disparaging. You use
the product in your profession, so whichever you use is by definition a
"professional use".
It seems many feel that the products could be better differentiated by
distinguishing them along broader lines than just standalone building.
Since I'm an Enterprise customer and not a Rev stockholder, what they do
with that end of the product line is not something I spend much time
thinking about myself.

I always did love that sigline, and enjoy keeping in when quoting you so
it gets read as often as possible. :)
