MetaCard, latest engine (Reev 2.7.4) and latest MC GUI.

I tried to add this comment to bug 4054, but could not because I was  
accused by the QualtityCenter to have tried to change the
"Hardware component" from "Mac" to "all", which I did not, of course,  
nor is there any popup menue or whatever named "Hardware"
