I also got that feeling, for the first time in over two years.  There
really was a lot of excitement in that NYC hotel for a few days.

At AmiExpo I asked RJ Mical (Father of Inhibition) what -=he=- thought
of HyperCard, since he has had some experience with it.  He said he
thought it was great, but didn't think it would have as large an
impact as Apple thinks it will.  He thought that for all its good
points, end users (CEOs, secys, dentists, etc) would not want to get
involved with it and do their own "programming" even though it's
really easy to do...it's still programming.

Anyway, that's one person's opinion; I'm sure I could find people who
would declare him dead wrong.  I have not seen HyperCard myself.
