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."

    At least it'll be easier than trying to use a 5.25" floppy. (Or god forbid, one of those old 8" floppies...)

    Could someone please tell me what in the world Hypercards are?

    Have you accepted Google as your personal Search Engine.

    Salvation is at hand!
