Ken,
I think you (and many others) have missed the point. Before RR, I (or you, or anyone else) could, and did, routinely provide stacks and the url for metacard so that the users of these stacks could, indeed, use them. No standalones. No need for them to purchase the engine (however ``reasonable''---give me a break--US$75 for the minimum?)--and no need to download a net-tested, 30-day ``demo''.
I have used, paid for, and promoted metacard for years (ask Scott Raney, if he agrees, to provide his records), and served as a beta-tester for RR; this RR attitude is *not* consistent with what Scott Raney and the MC team used to support. *If* a free---no network checked, 30-day ``demo''---of MC (i.e., an ``engine to run the stacks) were still (and always) freely available, I would be less concerned, but don't you (or Gay, or ...) defend the current model as ``reasonable'' as if that were the issue. It is fundamentally different. And, I believe, contrary to what most of us supporting and promoting MC over the years thought we were supporting and promoting. Like Ryno Swart, ``I am just a bit disappointed.'' Forget that: I am totally disappointed.
Um. There is nothing preventing anyone from creating a one-card standalone and making it available for free as a player.
