The beauty is not only that it is much faster than HC but also that 
it does not require cgi to be the frontmost app as it was the case of 
HC. Further, it can be implemented on different systems, although 
communication with the web server is done differently. Doing this 
under Mac OS Classic, for example, is as easy as Unix/OSX, if not 
easier, and Mac OS Classic is hacker-proof and quite old Macs may be 
utilized. Moreover, Revs easy connectivity to real databases allows 
us to move easily beyond stack-based databases.
