I'd just like to see something like: "We're now working on HyperCard 2.0."
Or perhaps a note to the effect that "We plan to announce HyperCard 2.0 in
xxx weeks."  In otherwords, more of a statement of committment rather than
a definite announcement of specifications or features.

Apple may have made such a statement already, but when nothing further is
said, people get nervous.  In such a situation, updates like the following
might be nice:  "We're still working on HyperCard 2.0" or "We now anticipate
an announcement of HyperCard 2.0 in yyy weeks rather than xxx as previously
announced."

Amanda's points about potential changes to stated goals for features and 
specifications are well-taken.  But surely we can expect something to calm
our nerves when nothing is said about a product that we are awaiting with
baited breath?

Ignorantly,
