I am a current Apple daily driver for my computing needs, but not until somewhat recently
This was a pretty interesting video about the hypercard software from the 80s
Did anyone here use it? What kind of things did you create?

the more I learn about it the more I want to set up a VM and find a copy so I can play around with it
There really isn’t anything like it now. It’s from a time when there were not a lot of applications out there any people had to DIY their own tools. Like a database for a repair shop. Now people have spreadsheets with tons of features or small niche apps. Then there are the big cloud apps like SaleForce and Quickbooks.
found this in another comment, apparently there is an online Mac OS 9 system that even includes HyperCard!

Thanks for the ping. I’ll take any excuse to watch Computer Chronicles.
