I am not real familiar w/ either program, but I am wondering why HCGS has come to be more vioable than Hyperstudio. Is it simply because HS is commercial $$ & HCGS now part of the system. OK, well, I figure the answer there is yes: I guess what I am really hoping for is a discussion of the merits/drawbacks of the 2 programs in comparison. any thoughts? - louis cornelio
