Maybe 25 years in this business have mellowed me a little, but I think there
should be little room (1st amendment notwithstanding) for the likes of the
Hypercard stack entitled "Inigo Goes to Hell".  I happen to pass on these
stacks to a friend with a 3 year old who loves them.  The only saving grace
about the above mentioned stack is that the authors, possibly by oversight,
gave a hint to its real contents in the title.  Oh, there is another - they
did an excellent job of plagiarizing the graphics - it looks very much like
the real thing.  In the future, it would be nice if there were a definitive
method of indicating on the net whether a product was of this sort.  The
authors may be bright; they may be educated; they may be righteously indignant
that someone actually used their techno-domain for some simple fun; but
they are certainly not very sensitive in the use of their talents if this is
a representative sample of their work.  I am very glad that I look at these
before I forward them - the three year old in question understands Inigo
stories, and couldn't care less about the Constitution.
