Dan, thanks for sharing this info about HyperCard.
In addition to its millions of users, it clearly had a lot of potential.
Another bad decision by Apple (to cancel it).
Nonsense. '90s Apple was bleeding cash. It needed PRODUCTS that would
SELL, and fast. HC wasn't selling; hell, it wasn't even getting built
(HC3 and its team was in total chaos). Way healthier MacOS techs got the
ax simply cos they didn't fit into the product Steve DID have in the
pipe (OSX).
If the HC team couldn't even sell HC to users, how on Earth would they
sell it to Steve Jobs? Gone, good riddance, move on.
No room for sentiment in this business.
Now, have you all filed your Radar tickets yet?

Some steaming moron tried to start a "Save AppleScript" petition on
change.org seeking 200! signatures and mustered 131!!! Might've well
have hammered the coffin nails with a performance like that. (There's a
reason I *chose* "Black Hole of Calcutta" *Radar*, y'know.)
Less flapping, more direction. Good start.
