Let me tie together McManis's comments on software development costs
and HyperCard. I imagine that when someone like Bill Atkinson (who
I think is the author of HyperCard, no?) goes to a venture capitalist
and says gimme $$$, I've got a good idea, he gets it.
There are some pretty good programmers with good ideas here on Comp.Sys.Amiga,
but I dunno if they can get big bucks, just for the asking. Suppose
< 5 amiga gurus of your choice > went to the $$$ people and said that
they wanted to build HyperCard for the Amiga---would any one listen.
Perhaps more importantly, will any of them do it, or are they having
too much fun just cranking out the code?
