I tend to believe that the survival of HyperCard would do more good
for MetaCard than its death. As things are, MetaCard is not going to
take place of HyperCard despite its power, cross-platform
functionality, etc. The continued existence of HyperCard would make
the xTalks more common and more acceptable, and create a pool of
potential MetaCard users among those HC users that grow up to need
what MetaCard offers.
