Aye aye, Cap'n!

I guess I'll be good at finding new user bugs, eh :-D

I was thinking about the user experience of someone who is 
downloading Rev for the first time, who has never used MC or 
Hypercard or Rev.  Which I'm presuming would be considered a hot 
target audience to sell to.  I don't know what their preconceptions 
would be, as they'd probably be coming in from some sort of 
programming environment.

But some of these things that I'm stumbling over, which I know from 
my experience with all of you there will be friends to help me with, 
but someone who doesn't know the lists or any of you might get very 
frustrated and just go away.

I am hoping that by sharing my impressions, I can help the Powers 
That Be smooth out some of the edges that would send people away. 
After all, I want Revolution to be very successful because that, in 
turn, keeps it alive for me :-D
