Adrian: It wasn't quite meant to be PR work for FreeCard, but for HC. Still
I think I've hit two birds with one so to speak.

Adrian: That may well be worth doing. When I next get a chance to look at
the web site I will add a link to the Pantechnicon somewhere.

Adrian: This is excellent news. I have been wondering if anyone was working
on FreeCard but have been too busy to do anything myself.

Adrian: I was under the impression that FreeUI was being created in MetaCard
but am quite happy to hear that it is actually in HyperCard.

Adrian: Fabulous.

Adrian: The web site is pretty much just sitting stagnant. I am swamped with
assignments and will be for the next two months or so. After that though I
will be on summer holidays for three months or more so I should be able to
get something done then.
