No matter what fond memories we may have of HyperCard, at this point they're just that, memories. At least one marketing VP at Apple is said to have narly complete disdain for HyperCard, and if it dosn't gain favor within the company that made it, references too HyperCard aren't likely to be any more useful elsewhere. -- Richard Gaskin Fourth World Media Corporation Developer of WebMerge 2.2: Publish any database on any site ___________________________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.FourthWorld.com Tel: 323-225-3717 AIM: FourthWorldInc _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
