It seems to me that the Apple management are a bit arrogant, as far as their expectations of the Mac's penetration into various markets. An example: here I am, about to embark on building a piece of visual software, and wondering whether to use Hypercard or Interviews/X-windows on another machine. So Hypercard 1.x wasn't really what I wanted, and I thought I'd wait for 2.0 before deciding. I may still wait (after all, never do today what you can do tomorrow :-); but I could just as easily go over, knowing that when/if Unix appears on Macs, I can just port things over. If other people make the same kinds of choices, Hypercard could end up dying (and I had hoped that Hypercard 3 would be a parallel implementation...). ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chris.Holt@newcastle.ac.uk Computing Lab, U of Newcastle upon Tyne, UK ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- "What two ideas are more inseparable than Beer and Virtual Reality?"
