Is RunRev marketed to developers mainly?

[Thomas McGrath III]

Joe,

Your welcome. I never wrote any externals (I was close a couple of  
times) but I had to laugh at your comment about being up to your eye- 
brows in your own HC externals.

Truth be told, my company bought the Viao for me and other than cross- 
platform development I don't use it much for anything else. I used to  
work with main frame computers Genigraphics, Moonbase, Zerox, etc. and  
then transfered my knowledge to Macs and PCs back almost twenty years  
ago and HC was my first interest in writing my own tools that were  
missing back then. The Mac was closer in my mind to the Zerox computer  
and always seemed to win out when given the choice. Sort of like  
Revolution feels now.

Regards,

Tom McGrath
