Richard Gaskin's posting makes me wonder what they
advantages of continuing to use MetaCard might be when it
still costs the same to upgrade as Runtime Revolution?

Hi Richmond,

This is something that you will have to answer yourself!

Looks like if you DO question it, then using MC will have no advantages for you ;-)

sincerely, Richmond Mathewson

Best

The only change since RunRev acquired the engine is that it now costs
LESS to use MC than it used to, not more. In the olden days, an MC
license was US$995.

Choosing MC has never been about cost.  It's about working close to the
engine, minimizing the "gotcha" differences between runtime and
development, and maintaining the greatest amount of control possible
over messaging, properties, etc.

As my mantra goes:

  Know the engine.
  Trust the engine.
  Use the engine.
