Yes, and I wrote a MIDI sequencer in Borland Delphi in about 1997 and that wasn't particularly challenging either, in fact simpler than attempting similar in SuperCard: http://www.sonicspot.com/aliendiskosystems/aliendiskosystems...

The point is, people tend to gloss and shine and wax poetic about HyperCard and it's ilk, but if it was so profoundly simple and awesome, why aren't SuperCard and related (MetaCard or Toolbook anyone?) prominent development platforms? Because that simplicity becomes complexity once you cross a certain threshold.

Please keep attempts at editing people's personalities at a minimum. It's how I talk, it's how I write, I make no apologies for it.

Cheers!
