HyperCard Comes Back From the Dead to the Web
TedCHoward writes "On the heels of the recent mention of HyperCard comes the launch of a brand new site called TileStack. Cnet's Webware blog writes, 'The idea behind it is to bring old HyperCard stacks back to life by putting them on the Web, meaning you can take some of those long lost creations from the late '80s and early '90s and make them working Web apps. You simply upload them to TileStack's servers and they'll be converted and hosted for just you or the entire world to use once again... Since the service runs without Flash... TileStack is perfect for the iPhone and other devices that run on the Web.' They also have a video showing the upload process."
Wow, like 10 minutes ago i was looking for a spare phone in this box and found a case of floppy disks from my middle school computer class. If the disks are good i think there are a couple of hypercard stacks on there... Weird.

At least it'll be easier than trying to use a 5.25" floppy. (Or god forbid, one of those old 8" floppies...)
Took this comment seriously, did you?
B:\ FTW!
When I was a kid we drew out screens from Super Mario Land onto little hand-drawn cardboard Gameboys. Oh, did we ever envy those with the IMB PCs, complete with the gramophone drive attachment. But alas, our meager salaries from working in the Atari pixel mines just wasn't enough back then. (To say nothing of that unlucky soul who was accidentally buried with the unsold copies of ET. Alas, poor Honorable Timothy.)
Wait, we were talking about HyperCard?

Salvation is at hand!
Faster! Faster! Faster would be better!
You can download System 7.5.3 directly from apple. Wow, 19 disks. Vista only takes 1 disc. And they say Vista is bloated.

Bah,you kids and your little baby cassette players and girlie iPods. When i was growing up we had REAL portable music players--Big honking RCA 8-tracks! One giant 12in speaker, TEN D batteries, and weighed a good fifteen pounds! Carry THAT around for awhile,why don't ya! I had mine duct taped to the handlebars of my Yamaha 125cc and since I laid it down mudding one day it could only play the 8-track that was in it,which was the first tape from KISS ALIVE!II,and we LIKED it that way! Now get off my lawn!
ACs don't waste your time replying, your posts are never seen by me.
