  I believe some of you will be able to relate to what I am writing here.
However, this is not just crying on your shoulder - I realy hope people
(especialy you guys at apple) will help me find a solution.

  I have this idea to use HyperCard to create a certain kind of training
aids, which I call 'simutorials' ( the name is a combination of 'simulator' and
'tutorial' - and that's what it's realy all about). HyperCard seem to be the
perfect tool for this purpose, for example, I wrote a simulator for a simple
microprocessor, and it took me only about 10 hours to write it, and it was
real fun.

 However, there is one problem. You see, what I have in mind, is to attend these
simutorials, mainly for usage in computer-classes, i.e., most of my attended
clients, are not people who already own a Mac, but rather schools, and other
institutes, that will have to buy the Macs, with the software, and this is
where the catch is - they won't! they will just ask 'can't we do this on
a made-in-taiwan-PC-competible?'

 You see, the fact that it will take 10 times development time on a PC, and
will never give the same results as with Mac/HC, doesn't seem to be in
anyone's interest. What does interest people is that you can buy two PC's
for the price of one Mac SE, and when it comes to a class of 40 computers,
that's a great difference.

  I'd like to know more about how to deal with this problem. I think apple
should take note here. I think the Mac worth what it costs (especialy comparing
to IBM-PC and it's competibles), but how can we make others see it?

  And don't send me to the local dealers - They only care about making safe
money...
