HyperCard!!! Just a Rolodex!!! I small sampling of projects I did with HyperCard in the 1990's were:
Front end to the Singapore Ministry of Defence payroll system (250,000 transactions per month) integrating Oracle and MD Mars imaging system Overdraft management system for Bangkok Bank (linking Singapore and Thailand) Reseller (spare part) ordering system for Apple Computer interfaced to S38 Information prompter for television anchor people in news Network based (pair work) Language learning software for German, Japanese and French Document level security system (Military Spec) for 2.5 million personnel files Decision support system for processing government funding applications for tertiary education schemes Videodisc front ends, spare parts catalogues, etc. etc. etc... Many of these are still in use today And BOY am I glad that I can now use that experience with Revolution instead of being a dinosaur that doesn't write PHP, SOAP, XML, PERL, Java, ASP etc... :) -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of J.

He told me that HyperCard was really "just a Rolodex" with little programming value, thereby proving that he knew nothing at all about the product he was encouraging Steve Job to kill. -- Jacqueline Landman Gay | [EMAIL PROTECTED] HyperActive Software | http://www.hyperactivesw.com _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list [email protected] Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list [email protected] Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
