Isn't this wonderful. We in Europe (how is the rest of the world doing)
finally get hypercard 1.0.1 while 1.1 is in use in North America (where else)
and probably before we can get HC 1.1 HC 1.2 or 2.0 will be in use in,
where else? - Not here !

I've heard the first line of delay is in Cork, Ireland. (First In, First Out)

I'm sort of accustommed to this, but that doesn't mean I condone or accept
it. But, if I never complain, it will probably never get better.

Apple showed it could do better with the introduction of the SE in '87.
Why can't they do that with HC and !!! System Software updates !!!
