You should have released it then - it would have been nice to see
something useful made in hypercard.

It was useful to him, not to the world: that was the beauty of Hypercard -
it was so easy to knock something up just for you. I used it for
"story-boarding" so I could show my client(s) how the appl (and more
importantly its workflow) would look before we inveseted time and energy
grinding out C++ code. The idea of attaching little scripts to UI elements
was sheer genius; it may be passe now, but it was the first on the block and
it inspired among other things TCL (read the foreword to the TCL book).

PD could use TCL/tk on OSX (but it's so ugly).

My Xmas card lists are still done in HC; one day I'll get round exporting
all my nae and addresses, but if it ain't broke...

Core Data makes it *incredibly* easy (once you crest the initial WTF-ness of the docs) to produce little database-like apps with little to no programming.

Cheers,

Chris
