Hmmmm. Lemme take a look back here....nope, I didn say nuttin 'bout gettin'
ridda full words ;-)

What I mean is: Does anyone think an end user of an app is going to hack
into the code and then whine about being confused by the term "card" or
abbreviations for it? So it doesn't matter about the 'metaphor' as long as
the interface suits their needs.

See, I live in Washington, not California, for a reason. I like xTalk
languages for a reason, and right now, I dunn need no steenking PERL, JAVA,
C++++++++++, etc. But if I do, then I'll go there and do that.

Everyone knows how I feel. I think Rev should back off for awhile on trying
to be all things to all developers, and throw more energy into stability and
polishing the IDE. I think the strides being made in that direction are a
'beautiful thing', and will pay off over the long haul.
