Does anyone else see the contradiction here?  Several net.people
request (for some it was closer to 'demand') that a HyperCard 
stacks should run on many platforms ... then also complain about
the lack of direct color support in HyperCard 2.0.

My question:  doesn't my B&W Mac SE/30 count as a platform to be
supported?  I want my stacks to be accessible to those on other
platforms as badly as the NeXT guy, but I'd like to be able to 
run them myself, too....
