Actually, we haven't left the realm of HyperCard.  I was at a conference
sponsored by NASA this summer.  NASA is developing an expert system called
"PI-in-a-Box" to assist the crew in performing scientific experiments.
PI-in-a-Box will use CLIPS (an expert system shell developed by NASA) 
and will use HyperCard for the user interface!  It is scheduled to go
up on shuttle mission SLS-2 in 1992 (I am accepting wagers on this :-).
I believe the Mac Portable is supposed to go up in a mission in the
near future to test it out.

HyperCard in Ssssssppppppppaaaaaacccccceeeeee!
