HyperCard was the foundation of my programming career. I treated the HyperCard Bible like an actual Bible.





I miss the days of For Dummies, Bibles, and all the rest. If you'd read that thing carefully a few times, you usually knew your stuff. There was a finish line.

Modern continual versioning and constant updates means there is no finish line. No Bible could ever be printed. Ah, nostalgia.


They don't make nostalgia like they used to.
