No thanks!  I doubt my computer even has enough memory to handle a 
sound file that big.  You want me to put 200 sounds in one long sound 
byte, many of them much longer than a single beep, and try to figure 
out where each piece starts and stops??  And do this for every 
program I create???  That's nuts!  I have programs with that many 
sounds.

Might as well program in C... a whole lot of code just to accomplish 
a simple task.  I fell in love with Hypercard for its ease of use. 
For its simplicity.  I bought all the C books and Codewarrior Gold 
awhile back, but guess what?  Decided I did not want to waste time 
doing things the hard way when they could be done the easy way.  Even 
if I had to make sacrifices for the simplicity.  And as we all know, 
Hypercard was a wondrous tool but could not compete with C.  I gave 
that choice a great deal of thought, before choosing Metacard.  It 
was not an easy choice.  But simplicity and ease won out.

As with Hypercard, I chose Metacard for ease of use.  Otherwise, I'd 
crack open my C books.
