unreasonable to say that it's incorrect or a mistake, unless Bill Atkinson or Dan WInkler say so.
Hmmm. As neither Bill or Dan are pruning, watering or even sitting under that tree anymore it's all seems to be personal perception of history. Today though, IMHO, the HyperCard tree is looking really really sick and it's roots, well they're shriveled up and I don't expect to see any "new growth" (v3.0) in my life time. What I do know is someone thoughtfully removed the 'best' branches off the HC tree and grafted them onto some new roots - Rev. The Rev tree is similar to the HC tree, but not the same. The Rev tree is easy to work with, but not as easy as the HC tree. IMHO the Rev tree is looking very healthy, it's roots are strong and seem to be able to produce new growth on a regular basis (might just be able to hold my breath until 2.7.5 arrives:-) There's a whole heap of additional branches on the Rev tree that weren't on the old HC tree - DB support, xplatform, etc. Unfortunately with so much growth some of the fruit produced is inedible - there's bugs. Fortunately a new husbandman has been hired (Bill) specifically to reduce the bug population. They're different, you can spend your time trying to make Rev be HC, or you can learn to think Rev - I suggest you choose the latter as it won't take too long:-) _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list [email protected] Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
