I think the HyperCard situation is a little unusual.  Because of Hypercard's
history, the question is not so much what new features are in the works and 
when they'll be available -- it's whether there are *any* significant new 
features in the works.  

Sounds like we'll have to wait and see.  (Or, if we're in a hurry,
wait and C.)
