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

[Brian Milby]

I'll say that is a good job so far.  The grid is very responsive (but I am
using a pretty fast laptop).  Second time to the page was much faster than
the first.  And I'll agree that some of the corporate web apps that I have
to use can take time to get themselves ready for anything.  Even the SAP
desktop client can be slow to load.

Thanks for posting this.
