Yeah. And then when I first started with Transcript/MetaCard, I was 
SCREAMING and waking the neighbors and pounding my fist and pissing off 
my husband. And Richard -- who was about a year ahead of me with 
MetaCard -- patiently walked me through it and explained how the 
differences from HyperCard were necessary, and etc etc... until I
