Re: LiveCode for the Hobbyists

I'm still not clear on how the community edition of Livecode isn't sufficient for hobby purposes. It's got tons of functionality, and it's free, and the main restriction is that anything you distribute has to be licensed GPL. But, if you're a hobbyist, and not charging for what you distribute, why

I can make my program freeze if I click the trackpad button really fast. If I click the button down, then wait, then up, it doesn't freeze. I used a log to find out all of the handlers it got through before it froze. Most of the time it logs through all of the related handlers and then freezes up
