To me, "insanely great" is the appropriate way to describe the
Hypercard experience and vision. After a dozen years of mainframe
development, I spent a year in the late 80's being retrained in
software development - this time with the human condition, not the
computer configuration, as the primary design focus. Hypercard was my
playground, test lab, toolbox, workbench and canvas. It was nothing
less than a life-changing experience.
