Heads up: If you click the window-maximize box in the upper right-hand corner it zooms out to the HyperCard Editor!

I'm still trying to figure out how to start with a clean slate deck, though. My skills are definitely rusty.

I wonder how feasible it'd be to create an entire hypercard based website with this thing.

Create new cards, make buttons that link to next card or wherever in the linear stack of cards. Transitions, effects, timing in a gloriously pixelated editor.

You've summed it up. Why can't we have this again?!

Either way, expect no HyperCard (or work-alikes) from Apple. But how about other vendors? What about open-source projects? Nothing there, either. Oh, there is no shortage of attempts. And all of them are failures for the same reason: they insist on being more capable, more complexity-laden than HyperCard. And thus, none of them can readily substitute for it.

PowerPoint? Maybe PowerPoint with embedded excel?
