I'm pretty sure it wasn't Gasse.

Can anybody pick it up when hypercard went back to apple and we were
supposed to have version 3.0?

I guess I assumed the leadership at Apple controlled the

Thanks for that clear discourse. I think the true story behind the demise of
Hypercard is very interesting. I'd like to see it fleshed-out a little more
to a full story especially with some of the interesting facts such as the
