Richard,
thanks sooo much, wonderful piece! takes me back to grad school in
molecular biology at berkeley when one of the post docs bought a mac
on one of her grants. luckily she had no idea of what to do with it
besides writing papers, i, on the other hand, devoured the thing! i
had had played with apple IIs and z80s (had one of the first sinclair
Z80s and Basis 108s), but being partially dyslexic, c and pascal were
painful for me and basic rather limiting (but did push it pretty
far). hypertalk was bearable in finding errors in code for me and
catapulted me into multimedia education after grad school (after
decided i didn't want to be a professor the rest of my life). had
great fun for the next decade using hypercard creating training and
data base system for whale research, museum exhibits and educational
multimedia cdroms! luckily when hc was fading mc (just at the right
time, thanks scott!) came along and here we all are! sure many others
on the list followed very similar paths in life!
Also fondly remember the Computer Chronicles! Glad to find this archive!
cheers,
jeff reynolds

Brett Sher came across this video of a Computer
Chronicles show about
HyperCard (c. 1987). Bill Atkinson, Dan Winkler, Danny
Goodman and
others explain what HyperCard is, in a show sure to
raise lots of
nostalgia.
