> It blew COBOL out of the water. HC is no more a rolodex than COBOL and it is definitely a development tool, albeit with with a few shortcomings.
At one time I used HyperCard for everything. Two of my most popular programs were written in HyperCard. The unfortunate "shortcomings" are what caused me to switch to MetaCard. Integrated color, cross-platform compatability, internet aware and ready. I guess all the things I love about MetaCard are the things that I couldn't have in HyperCard. I remember the days I spent trying to create an Aqua interface in Photoshop and use Color Tools to put it into HyperCard. Then making buttons that won't hilite as black squares, making fields that actually hilite in the system color, and trying to figure out a way to make my applications run properly on MacOS 9. I would love it if Apple started HyperCard back up, but that involves overcoming HyperCard's biggest shortcoming...it's no longer being developed. The only thing I wish is that I could afford the huge pricetag on MetaCard.
