Congratulations! That's fantastic......and....as a Scot.....it is rather nice to see a Scots firm buying out a US firm rather than the other way around........
One of my obsessions is to do with GUI design...having been in education for the last 15 years I am always shocked at how good software is spoilt by a bad user interface. I discovered MetaCard before I discovered RR..........frankly the GUI of MetaCard was such a turn-off I felt no enthusiasm for it at all. Now the GUI of RR is really very good (especially if you install my green interface hacks - plug, plug). My main criticism of the MC GUI is that it makes things relatively inaccessible to new would-be programmers. I tried out 'Mister X's' add-ons, and, frankly, I thought they looked a bit like Windows 3.1........ While I realise that a diversity of tastes is a good thing I do hope that any volunteers who are to continue working with the MetaCard GUI can make it more user friendly. It would be extremely nice if RR could release more components of both the RR and MC home stacks for individuals to 'mess around with' - ultimately leading to a 'Hack' website where people can assemble their own GUI from modules that suit their individual tastes and needs. Maybe there could be some sort of legal framework / gentleman's agreement whereby any interface mods would be routed through RR before being made generally available - allowing RR a fair degree of control. Read this, shout at me, write abusive replies, come on........now, exactly now, is the time for a democratic intellectual ferment re the future of RR/MC - which claims (!!!!) to empower users!
