I found something interesting about HC and new system. 

I downed the system 6.0.7 from apple.com yesterday and started my SE/30
which the new system tool disk. I tried to lunch HyperCard 1.2.5 from the
harddisk. As I expected, hypercard did not run at all. I said to myself: I
should have believed Apple. Today, I went to the computer base of OSU
bookstore, there is a Classic, a si, and some other macs. On the classic,
the system is 6.0.7. I tryed Hypercard, it worked fine. But when I looked at
the 'about hypercard' box, it is version 1.2!!!. I couldn't believe my eyes.
Is there something magic on the Classic or just simply the guys in bookstore
have better luch than I do?
