I just thought I'd throw in my two cents worth of heresy. I'm not talking
about hard core GS users/programmers here ( like those on this net :-) )
but the average user and perhaps the school systems. If these people 
start using Hypercard a lot then they become Hypercard users rather than
GS users. This will make the "relocation" to the Mac world much easier.
