Happy Fourth Of July! Whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.

Aug'02 interview with Bill Atkinson about Hyper Card. "I have realized over time that I missed the mark with Hyper Card," he said from his studio in Menlo Park, California. "I grew up in a box-centric culture at Apple. If I'd grown up in a network-centric culture, like Sun Microsystems, Hyper Card might have been the first Web browser. My blind spot at Apple prevented me from making Hyper Card the first Web browser." Hyper Card was conceived and created in the 1980s, almost a decade before the explosion of the Internet. "I thought everyone connected was a pipe dream," he said. "Boy, was I wrong. I missed that one."... Atkinson still uses Hyper Card every day. His address book is a big Hyper Card stack, and he has written a number of custom programs to help him with his photography and to maintain his website.
