...
the MetaCard "carbonization"
process is already done, and so it shouldn't be too long a wait before
we'll be able to start public testing of the new engine.
...and Scott gets a huge standing ovation from the crowd!
But you should keep in mind that the final release of Mac OS X is
many, many months away and while it might make a good development
platform before then, there probably won't be a large enough installed
base to bother with making distributions for that platform until
sometime next year.
It'll make a superb development platform, but there's one more
thing... being able to make a Carbonized standalone with MetaCard is
HUGE right now. There's such a lack of applications available for OS
X, any app that's carbonized will get a large following from people
who have "upgraded" to the beta (at least, that's in a hypothetical,
optimistic world! :)
I've been waiting to purchase the OS X beta until I can run my good
ol' MetaCard in it... releasing the carbonized engine would get me
going releasing all sorts of programs, and give everyone in the
MetaCard community a big boost in the credentials department. Thanks
for getting this done, and here's to getting this public testing
started ASAP! (tomorrow I place the order for OS X!)
Regards,
Scott
