I could be wrong, 'cause I'm only a half-propeller head and not a whole
one... About 90% of the Macintosh toolbox calls that MetaCard uses are fine
the way they are.  But 10% of the calls call toolbox routines that no longer
exist under Carbon and have been either eliminated or replaced.  I'd also
venture to guess that there'll be some CodeWarrior tools that will help this
process, if there aren't already.  Apple said that Photoshop was made
Carbon-compliant in about one week... by one programmer.  'Course that's
Apple talking.  What're they GONNA say?  :)

Again, MetaCard apps should run fine under OS X, but they'll run under the
"Classic" box, meaning emulation.  The emulation should be very fast... but
you don't get protected memory and all that buzzword stuff.  But OS X plus
MetaCard equals a REALLY compelling situation, if you ask me!

As An Aside... I was once e-mailed by Apple and told that I was on the
HyperCard 3 beta test list!  But that was the "old" Apple (as in no "Jobs"),
and I'd put serious cash on Apple delivering OS X.
