I am glad to see someone else out there who isn't afraid to evangelise for
HC a bit, too!
I was just today playing with HyperFTP (Jon Pugh...are you remembering that
one?!) and wondering why HC is not still a viable UI for applets and
scripts?
Does anyone out there use HC for a "front end" for their scripts? Or have
examples of using HC as the UI?
Do you all still have HC or HC Player installed somewhere?
HyperCurious,

P.S.
Even if it is no longer developed, I still don't quite understand the lowly
status that even Mac users seem to associate with HC. The recent suggestion
I made that HC would be a wonderful starting point for the 11 year old did
not even seem to sink in. Tragic oversight for the 11 year old, who could
make a zippy multi-media stack in just a few hours with his dad. (Steve C.,
are you reading along at home? Don't force COBOL on the kid! ;)
Our school's 5th graders made a "This is Me" stack, writing their own
scripts and everything, in just a few class sessions. Some had bone joint
animations, some had grandmothers singing old family lullaby's, some had
their kid sister's funny drawings. Now THAT is using a computer to do
something. That is HyperCard. "Hello World!", be damned. :)
