[Web4lib] Re: antiquated software

Ha! Yes, I used Hyper card for a while. Not very much real-world use, as
I recall, but that's a good point.
I believe I started the whole hypertext thing. When I was a kid I would
look something up in the encyclopedia, then get interested in some other
reference and pull out another volume to follow that up, then see a word
I didn't know and get the dictionary out to look that up... and so on.
And that was 45 years ago! :)

I remember PointCast!

Does anyone remember HyperCard?  It helped me understand what the 
Internet was about earlier than most of my peers.
