Let's not forget that many of Revolution's customers were HyperCard users - and many of us started x-cards with HypercCard, because it was free. I got my first copy free with an SE 30 I bought in 1987, have since bought hundreds of copies of HyperCard.

This all begs the real question: what is Revolution's target market - now that all the "low hanging fruit" (HC & MC users) are picked?
