Re: Ok, what now?
I'm just "seconding" what Andu said. Your range of uses for Metacard will likely depend on things like: - what you do for a living - what you do for fun - how computing and the internet fit into the above I found that with MC as my "hammer" of choice, my world abounds with nails just waiting - *begging* - to be driven! Food for thought. Take a look at some of the things available for download at http://www.xworlds.com - you may be surprised.

What I'd like now is a few ideas on how I might put this thing to good use. If anyone has any great ideas or tips on how make the most of MetaCard, please respond (on or off list as you prefer). The simple answer is that you can write almost any kind of application and/or utilities with it for at least 3 platforms. Some experience with Hypercard or Supercard is definitely helpful otherwise just take it step by step and ask all the stupid questions like most users do at some point or another ;-). Also there is an archive with previous posts at http://www.mail-archive.com/metacard which is most informative. The ideas should come from you but if you need help implementing them ask the list.

Re: Ok, what now?
I've just downloaded the MetaCard starter kit, and had a bit of a look at the demo, and quite frankly it impressed the hell out of me. What I'd like now is a few ideas on how I might put this thing to good use. If anyone has any great ideas or tips on how make the most of MetaCard, please respond (on or off list as you prefer). As the others have pointed out, the xworlds.com collection is a great starting point. All the best MetaCarders out there have adde to it, including Andu, Tuviah, of course the Crossworlds gang, and many others. But like Phil Davis suggested, perhaps the most important thing is to just play with it. Go wild -- I've found little I can't do with MetaCard. I suspect you'll find the same as well. And as with any tool, there will be times when you want to kick it in the shins -- but if your experience is like most folks', you'll discover that more often than not it's more a question of understanding the tool than any inherent limitation in the tool itself. The best thing is that you've already discovered the most valuable MetaCard resource: this list.

RE: Ok, what now?
whatever it is you need to do, you can do it in MetaCard. If you do it yourself, that much more power to you! Best way to learn is to disassemble (like legos!) but always keep a backup just in case!!! # Hi all # # I've just downloaded the MetaCard starter kit, and had a bit # of a look at # the demo, and quite frankly it impressed the hell out of me. # What I'd like # now is a few ideas on how I might put this thing to good # use.
