Well thats interesting

[LCGuy]

Weird little thing I just discovered:

Go to http://www.apple.com/hypercard and see what happens.

Not quite what you'd expect, hmm?

Odd. Very odd.

Does that count as an Apple endorsement of wikipedia?

Wow, thats interesting.

Somebody edit the article to slander Apple !

Apple has all sorts of interesting redirects from their old, dead pages.

http://www.apple.com/powerbook/ goes to http://www.apple.com/macbook/ rather than /macbookpro

http://www.apple.com/iBook/ goes nowhere

http://www.apple.com/powermac/ goes to http://www.apple.com/macpro/ the only one of that lot that actually redirects to its successor

I get a "page not found" when I try http://www.apple.com/macpaint. I was hoping it would redirect to something interesting, but I guess MacPaint was too long ago to have been eligible for its own webpage.

apple.com/laserwriter goes to the store???

Then it would be a lie.

HyperCard 2.4.1 Retail Package Now Available

Cool. I somehow doubt that was approved by Apple management, particularly seeing as http://www.apple.com/emate didn't exist (I verified that link with Archive.org). So it was probably some web designer or the website administrator that threw that in. Designer would be my guess, since a lot more of that type of folk probably used HyperCard.
