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.

    It's pretty sad; the unexpected part was that it remained for sale at the Apple Store for six years without an update.

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

  2. Sad news ... Hypercard, dead at 16 by orthogonal · · Score: 4, Funny

    I just heard some sad news on talk radio - Rolodex/Programming tool Hypercard was found dead in it Cupertino, California home this morning. There weren't any more details. I'm sure everyone in the Slashdot community will miss it - even if you didn't enjoy its output, there's no denying its contributions to popular culture. Truly an American icon.
