Back to the Future with Hypercard
I just 'lifted' the following from the Yahoo Hypercard group: Brett Sher came across this video of a Computer Chronicles show about HyperCard (c. 1987). Bill Atkinson, Dan Winkler, Danny Goodman and others explain what HyperCard is, in a show sure to raise lots of nostalgia. http://www.archive.org/details/CC501_hypercard ___ Nostalgia aside: A very good program that makes all sorts of points that somehow seem to have been lost sight of to a certain extent. I am downloading the 2GB high-quality version and will pop it on my interesting stuff hard-drive for future enjoyment and reference. sincerely, Richmond Mathewson A Thorn in the flesh is better than a failed Systems Development Life Cycle. ___ Yahoo!

This is incredible. Thanks. Nice to see our early HC heros in their prime, and their passion. sqb HyperCard (c. 1987).

Back to the Future with Hypercard
A word of warning to the wise; the 2 GB mpeg file at:- http://www.archive.org/details/CC501_hypercard needs a fair bit of post-processing if you want to view it on Quicktime. I used ffmpegX - http://homepage.mac.com/major4/ - and, the first time round got a squished image; i.e. the 640 x 480 picture got turned into a 640 x 352 image; so be careful to twiddle with the ffmpegX settings rather than just hitting ENCODE. sincerely, Richmond Mathewson A Thorn in the flesh is better than a failed Systems Development Life Cycle. __ Sent from Yahoo!

Re: Back to the Future with Hypercard
Richard, thanks sooo much, wonderful piece! takes me back to grad school in molecular biology at berkeley when one of the post docs bought a mac on one of her grants. luckily she had no idea of what to do with it besides writing papers, i, on the other hand, devoured the thing! i had had played with apple IIs and z80s (had one of the first sinclair Z80s and Basis 108s), but being partially dyslexic, c and pascal were painful for me and basic rather limiting (but did push it pretty far). hypertalk was bearable in finding errors in code for me and catapulted me into multimedia education after grad school (after decided i didn't want to be a professor the rest of my life). had great fun for the next decade using hypercard creating training and data base system for whale research, museum exhibits and educational multimedia cdroms! luckily when hc was fading mc (just at the right time, thanks scott!) came along and here we all are! sure many others on the list followed very similar paths in life! Also fondly remember the Computer Chronicles! Glad to find this archive! cheers, jeff reynolds On Dec 25, 2007, at 1:00 PM, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Brett Sher came across this video of a Computer Chronicles show about HyperCard (c. 1987).

[OT] Does Ken have a long lost brother
Does Ken Ray have a brother he doesn't know about? Or is it the son of a son of thunder? Check these two sites: http://www.truenorthsoftware.com/Realbasic/download.html http://www.sonsothunder.com/home/home.htm The logos, the fonts, the colours, and even the developer tools... so similar yet... different.
