Re: Runtime Revolution Ships Revolution Media; Announce Revolution Forums
There is a standing joke among locals on our island of Kauai, where with 2 hurricanes in 20 years, hotels have changed hands and names so many times that no one can ever remember what actual location anyone is talking about anymore. Since the hotels are also used as "landmarks" we have these crazed conversations that go like this: #1 It's just past the Aston... #2 Aston? I think you mean Kauai Sands, right? #3 No, they sold Kauai Sands, it's now Kapaa Shores #4 Oh, I didn't know that... Everyone breaks out laughing, but still mildly confused -- what place were you talking about, really? Given that this problem already exists where xTalk = all hotels, hypertalk is a dead hotel, Supertalk is a different hyperTalk that is still alive but only lives on the apple side of the island, and transcript is an xTalk that is an advancement over hypertalk but is not supertalk that lives where all fruits grow big blur... When my support team for the new dedicated server at ServePath asks "what's that code you use on your web server?" I'm *already* saying to them "oh that's Revolution." I'm with Lynn this one: we will love coding, henceforth, in Revolution, I will know exactly where the hotel is and who owns it and I can give directions clearly and everyone I talk to knows exactly what I'm talking about: #!/usr/local/bin/revolution On Apr 08, 2006, at 12:03 PM, Lynn Fredricks wrote: The language is now Revolution. !!! <-- Exclamation would actually be a pretty cool name if you think about it :-) Best regards, Lynn Fredricks Worldwide Business Operations Runtime Revolution, Ltd ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution

Funny about things like that, though.

I think, among this bunch, this will be the case. Kinda like I can't say "SBC park". I always call it "PacBell park". Sony Records is still CBS to me. hey but I'm not the marketing guy. Good luck with all the products! > Wow. I was surprised to see your answer that the scripting language Transcript is being renamed Revolution. How then will it be differentiated from the product? Or won't it? Intriguing. Not criticizing, just wondering and a bit bewildered. This is one of those situations where the lack of differentiation will reinforce the brand. Most new customers wont have any preconceptions based on the language "Transcript", but they would if we decided to change the name a year from now. Name changes can be rough, but, almost anyone who would recognize "transcript" is engaged enough in the community not to be completely confused by this name change.

Re: Runtime Revolution Ships Revolution Media; Announce Revolution Forums
Lynn What is the thinking behind this? I am a little put off by the change. Hypercard had hypertalk, supercard had supertalk, director had lingo and Revolution had Transcript. I love the name transcript. Thank you, P.S. Congratulations on the Rev Media release. Way to go. Tom On Apr 8, 2006, at 11:18 AM, Lynn Fredricks wrote: The language is now Revolution.
