Hypercard is a very hard thing to come by in the Boston area.  Some local stores
haven't even had a first shipment yet.  One of my favorite dealers, the Acton
Computer Center, got only _14_ copies.  10 of those were pre-sold; the other 4
went out with new Macs.  Needless to say, I didin't get one.  The best I could
do was put a deposit on a copy in the next shipment (I'm #2 on the list)...

Meanwhile, Hypercard has shown up on the Apple Developer's price list.  It's
discounted about 25%, but with the time lag involved, it doesn't seem worth
it.  It could take up to six weeks to get it from Apple; I'd rather pay full
retail and get it sooner.

Anybody else having such trouble finding Hypercard?  (I'm jealous of all you
souls who've been able to get your hands on it.)
