Praise: Rev Documentation to the rescue

[Thomas McGrath III]

Jac,

That is exactly the way the Director list serve is. Those who really 
know don't pass on what they learned and it is rather 'stuffy'. That is 
one reason why I abandoned Director in the end. The other was that 
every Director project 'looks' and 'feels' exactly the same, I mean you 
can tell a mile away if something was done in Director. I just didn't 
like that for the prototype work that I do. Where as this list and 
Rev's standalones are extremely fantastic.

I am hoping that Borders Book stores also end up with a whole book 
shelf full of Transcript/Revolution stuff.

P.S. Speaking of loving Rev and the people on this list, I want another 
Rev T-Shirt and Coffee Mug, I used mine everyday and, well, I spilled 
my coffee mug on the T-shirt and well now it's stained through. Anyone 
know if they will appear again???

Tom
