RE: Hypercard as impetus to buy a MAC.
I want/intend to learn programming on a MAC someday.  However, in many
ways there is no hurry.  I am still using Assembly on my //C and hope to
start on C this quarter. If I wait, say, a year, the prices will be lower
the memory expanded, etc. However, this may have changed.  If Hypercard
is half as significant as the dealers tell me( and judging by notes on
this server it is) then it may be worthwile to get the MAC now. As a relative
newcomer to programming it seems that it would be advantageous to be in on the
"beginnings" of a new system. What do people who have been programming for a wh
ile think? Would it be better to go ahead and get the second machine now, or
to stick to what I have for a while and then get Hypercard/MAC later?
