We should petition Apple to buy SuperCard, make it 64 bit and distribute it free like they did with HyperCard;

Apple killed HyperCard, remember?
We tried to get HyperCard updated.
Apple has a tradition of not listening to its user base.

Oh, and why do replies still get sent to the original sender only if I press the reply button? Can this be changed?

SuperCard-ers,

I found this article that Uli pointed out in one of his presentations:


It explained a lot to me about why Apple does not want HyperCard/SuperCard/ X-Talk on their walled-garden platform.

I think an "Outside of Apple" effort is much more possible.

I even think Bill Appleton and Marc Benioff might support such an initiative. Maybe even Bill Atkinson ;-)

Best regards,
