That does mean a lot coming from you Jacque.  I know you have been 
immersed in both for quite awhile.

It took me a very long time to make the decision to move to MC.  I 
had already invested in the compiler and a stack of books to migrate 
to C.  But knowing that Scott/MC had been around for 10 years, and 
charged enough to stay in business and not go poof, I felt safe in 
choosing MC over C.  I believed that Metacard would not abandoned us 
as Hypercard had, and would move forward as necessary to keep up with 
the computing world.

Stability of the product, and the company behind the product, are key.
