To which I reply ...
Competition? What competition? Apple is doing nothing with Hypercard,
despite the intense loyalty of its devotees (myself included). SuperCard is
still Mac-only.
Is there another cross-platform solution that even begins to touch what
MetaCard is able to do? (squeakier, higher voice here) I don't think so!
(normal voice mode) And is there another team which is so devoted to its
product and so willing to make it better? Again.... (And no, Microsoft's
Visual Basic doesn't count. Not cross platform, and not nearly so
user-friendly to amateur programmers like me).
So, if we can't get the results, OK. No harm done. At least if Scott and
Kevin worry about the competition like they have been, they will ensure that
there won't really be any!
Cheers! It's late, and I am going to bed. Got classes to teach in the
morning (and afternoon, and evening....).
