One addition I would like to see in HyperCard is the disabling of timers when
a tool is selected. In writing an automated stack for an on campus computer
show (MegaFest), I found it to be an incredible pain to have to name every
card with a timer that contolled the switching between cards, and then having
to remeber the name of the card and type "edit script of card NAMEOFCARD" each
time it needed a revision. Please Apple, fix this.

Also - I thought that the folks at Apple might like to see our "Interactive
introduction to the Macintosh" Stack that we wrote for the show... Who do I
send it to??
