	HyperCard - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		HyperCard was originally released with System Software 6 in 1987, and was finally withdrawn from sale in March 2004, although it had not been updated for many years at that time.
		HyperCard was created by Bill Atkinson and initially released in August 1987, with the understanding that Atkinson would give HyperCard to Apple only if they promised to release it for free on all Macs.
		HyperCard is one of the first products that made use of and popularized the hypertext concept to a large popular base of users.

	Wired News: HyperCard Forgotten, but Not Gone
		The software is HyperCard, a simple programming environment so powerful yet simple it is used by professionals and children alike.
		HyperCard is used widely in schools to teach programming concepts and for creating interactive learning materials or class reports.
		HyperCard supports pictures, audio and video, and can be used to make almost anything -- from games to accounting systems, scientific data tools and teaching aides.

	Gary's HyperCard Page
		In dog years as in computer years, HyperCard should be a pile of bones but lives on because it really did have something to offer, the talents of ordinary users who were given an opportunity to develop programs for the Mac.
		I created this one because when I was working with HyperCard it had a weakness where if you created a new pattern in a stack you could not move that pattern to another stack, you had to recreate it in each stack you wanted to use it in.
		My old stone age copy of HyperCard that was bundled with my SE slaughtered the playback, but the recent version of the HyperCard player played the animations much smoother.

	MacDevCenter.com -- REALbasic for HyperCard Users
		HyperCard allowed you simply to draw your program's interface, and then associate interface items with code responding to related user actions -- for example, in the case of a button, what should happen when the user pressed it.
		HyperCard's card/background metaphor supports a light database where storage, display, and searching come more or less free; in REALbasic, you have to work quite hard to achieve the same effect.
		The very artificiality of HyperCard's interface allows the programmer to obtain information about it and control over it to an extent that in REALbasic is not so easily obtained.

	ONJava.com -- The Death of HyperCard?
		More important than the loss of thousands of creations that rely on HyperCard is the disappointment to come for the thousands of people and institutions that rely directly and indirectly on HyperCard for everything from managing home gardening to tracking commercial jet maintenance.
		Hypercard is a humble and quiet, but vital, part of that.
		Since the HyperCard article was posted, I've also been informed of many HyperCard alternatives that will run on Mac OS X. But none of them have been as complete as HyperCard itself.

	Jeanne's House o' HyperCard
		This update can be used on HyperCard 2.3-2.4, and fixes a problem on large HFS+ volumes as well as removing the much-protested "desktop spam" behavior with QuickTime 3.0.
		As HyperCard was shuffled to Claris, back to Apple, and since then from group to group within Apple, HyperCard's developers (and users) had to put up with more in the way of corporate politics than any sane human being should have to.
		The new HyperCard will serve as the control language for QuickTime; that means for developers that, among other things, any HyperCard stack can be run standalone on any platform for which QuickTime is implemented, including the Macintosh and Windows machines.

	HyperCard FAQ 2
		Looking at HyperCard in terms of database terminology, a stack would be a database file, a card would be a single record, and each card can have fields to store individual pieces of information.
		HyperCard stacks are slow as far as applications go, and the program doesn't support color easily (and if you use color, it slows down even more).
		HyperCard then created a new card, titled it with the first line of text in the data, and stripped out extra returns and spaces.

	HyperCard FAQ 4
		HyperCard 2.3's performance improvements, ease-of-use enhancements, and new color and multimedia capabilities further extend the product's value to a wide array of users, including commercial and in-house developers, software consultants, educators and multimedia authors.
		Although HyperCard is widely recognized among programming novices for its ease of use, it also provides professional developers with a robust prototyping and development environment.
		HyperCard's basic value is in allowing people to combine content that their computers can display and actions that their computer can perform in ways that are useful or meaningful to them.

		Many point out that HyperCard is the single reason that they buy Macintoshes; without HyperCard, a PC would do most of what they need.
		The HyperCard Mailing List created a CD of impressive HyperCard stacks with which to demonstrate the power of the product.
		We encourage individuals who love HyperCard to continue to send letters to Apple, but we also feel that for those who rely on HyperCard to meet their business or professional goals, it is time to consider whether another software tool might serve their needs better in the future as the Mac OS evolves.

		HyperCard always had a marketing problem of not being clearly about any one thing.
		But HyperCard's biggest win was a very low entry threshold for those who wanted to build their own 'stacks' - combinations of user interface, code, and persistent data.
		HyperCard will be sorely missed by all those who knew it.
