On RR acquiring Metacard

[Dr. John R. Vokey]

As with some others, I have the disquieting feeling of being ``hoist by 
my own petard'': on initially moving from hypercard to metacard years 
ago, my principle complaint (voiced on this list) with metacard was 
the, then, incomprehensible interface (why or why could it not be more 
like hypercard?), and the lousy documentation.  RR comes along and 
fixes both, but in the interim I've come to appreciate the deep 
intelligence and elegant simplicity of Dr. Raney's metacard interface 
(and no longer need the documentation), to the point (as with my 
earlier belief about the hypercard way) that I find RR way to be 
bloated, incomprehensible, clumsy, and annoying: it just gets in my 
way!  However, I am confident that it is none of these things, despite 
the wailing and gnashing of teeth I'll no doubt go through as I adapt 
to it.  And I will.  Congratulations to Metacard corp and RR on their 
ultimate union!
