AppleTalk was Apple's (chatty) proprietary protocol which worked over LocalTalk hardware.
BTW, since SC was an HC descendent, it's no wonder that the language name was similar. My recollection from that time and one of Bill's interviews with some rag was that they couldn't describe HC in any vocabulary that someone who had never used it could understand. There really were no IDE's or RAD tools, and the paradigm was so radically different that the entire article did nothing but confuse all of us reading it all the more. It wasn't until I actually touched HC and then bought the Waite Group's Tricks of the HyperTalk Masters and HyperTalk Bible (like RR, there weren't any manuals with the original version - at least any that I was able to get a hold of. I think you had to pay Apple $50 if you wanted theirs) that it really began to make sense. But I digress. Anyway, HT was, if my memory serves me correctly, named due to the fact that you could actually speak it to someone else and they could understand what you were telling them. However it's been a very, very long time, so I could also be suffering from making-it-up-to-sound-cool syndrome, too. -- http://taoofrunrev.blogspot.com http://taoof4d.blogspot.com http://4dwishlist.blogspot.com On the first day, God created the heavens and the Earth On the second day, God created the oceans.
