I think much of the explorability is still there, but the out-of-box experience is missing in LC, and always has been through the various RunRev versions. You could open up HyperCard for the first time and play around with the rolodex, the calculator, etc. It was easy to change simple things, add features, learn from mistakes, get your feet wet until you reached that Aha! moment. With LC there's a learning curve of several weeks before you get proficient enough to figure out what this is all about. And up to that point any explorability is just trying things or plugging in suggestions from others without really understanding what's going on. -- -Mark Wieder [email protected] _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list [email protected] Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
