Hypercard was very interesting to me, enough so that I bought my first programming book, Danny Goodman's The Complete Hypercard Handbook. I loved tinkering about with Hypercard on my very first computer, a Powerbook 100 that I bought new in 1992.

I was sad when Apple decided to only include Hypercard Player with new Macs, which I also think ultimately helped contribute to its death. People liked Hypercard but not enough to pay money for it. By the time Steve killed it, it was a lumbering zombie of its former self.
