Is RunRev marketed to developers mainly?

[Thomas McGrath III]

Joe,

I agree with the initial reaction to Supercard when Hypercard was  
free. However SC had so much to offer with multiple windows and Color  
etc. and HC was not being well supported by Apple at that time (the  
beginning of the end it felt like) that I felt I needed to purchase  
SC. Then the wait for a Web and/or Windows version of SC and it being  
passed around between companies and I finally gave up for Director.  
That was a big disappointment for me. Thank goodness that MC/ 
Revolution stuck around and is what it is.

I disagree about this list being mostly Mac users though. I am a  
Computer user and prefer Macs but I work on them both side by side and  
both on my Mac as well. I know there is a lot of heated wars between  
some users but I for one would not even have considered Revolution if  
it were Mac only. (my 2 cents on that)

I have been an Enterprise licensee with Revolution since I first found  
it and have been glad to pay for it. It has changed my life and my  
future outlook on life (programatically speaking).
