Well, at least I'm the first to let me know I was wrong. Appears they changed it in 1995 to 20 years as JD said earlier; and it had been changed from 14 to 17 years sometime even earlier. You know about "old coots". (smile)

I believe patents are limited to 14 years, but something like this is probably more of a copyright issue; copyrights are good for 28 years and renewable for two additional 28 year periods for a total of 84 years. Of course, I've been wrong before. (sheepish grin)

Cool. Let us know what Apples says when you write to ask them for the
code. ;)


I had to smile two days ago, I was on the Apple site registering some
software and noticed that HyperCard is listed there; so I guess Apple think
it very much alive and theirs.

I wasn't on the net when I got HC and I'm sure I wouldn't have bothered posting international to register, so I'm thinking, I might just log in and
register my copy of HC;-)
