Where do we want LiveCode to go? (was "Re: Where LiveCode is Now")

That would be true for a ‘page’ that did not load in 3 sec but if you have a loading bar they would probably be more willing. 

While developing for HTML5 I have to post up to the website and then refresh the page to reload the whole thing which takes about 10 seconds. But even after repeated times of this it has not become uncomfortable. 

I also don’t trust this statistic of 3 seconds. Count out 3 seconds and see if that feels uncomfortable to you to give up. 53% is a ridiculous number for that level of impatience. Remember that 87.6543 % of statistics are made up.
