HyperCard Gone for Good 187
Second to Last HyperCard Goddess writes "HyperCard has finally been removed from the Apple website. Read some comments about the passing. I read about HyperCard's demise on the RunRevolution list. It's pretty sad; the unexpected part was that it remained for sale at the Apple Store for six years without an update. Although we've all moved on, we'll certainly miss it." I won't.

After the Mac II, they quit with this, and there was a bit of a backlash. Some joker (no pun intended) then came out with "Hypercards", Mac-style cards soaked (supposedly) in caffeine (to reflect the improved performance over the older Macs.) These took off like wild fire. Eventually the idea was bought by Claris, then a division of Apple.
I still have a 7 of Diamonds, goes with my Beige G3. :)

Being in the market for a new PowerBook (and waiting anxiously for new revisions), this is a truly terrifying statistic.
