I've just experienced them all on various occasions in the last few years.

I only missed two of the items. I never had the Fat Mac experience -- I had friends that had Fat Macs and Monster Macs, but I never played with one myself. And I never played Dark Castle because I have never been much of a computer game player.

I remember when QuickTime was the "Next big thing", as well as the whole multimedia thing, the PowerPC transition, and the mid '90s, when the 'Net started to become more popular.

And don't forget all the other Apple "Next big things" like Multifinder, Hypercard, eWorld, and OpenDoc.

maclover5 LC Doctor/Hot Rodder Australia 5830 Posts	Posted - 03 Jul 2003 : 17:46:39 Oh, yes, I remember HyperCard, eWorld, and OpenDoc very well! Too bad none of them are supported today... Think about how amazing HyperCard X would be!

G4from128k Full Member USA 873 Posts	Posted - 03 Jul 2003 : 17:55:35 YES! I would love Hypercard X, especially if they created a web-based player. Hypercard was so excellent for quickly creating complex user interfaces. Ah well, technologies come and go. I guess that I am just a nostaglic old coot.

cory5412 68KMLA Comrade-in-Arms USA 4679 Posts	Posted - 03 Jul 2003 : 21:22:19 hehehe... truly! I would TOTALLY buy HyperCard X if it was a web development platform... WebObjects lite? Maybe we should all looki into WebObjects CoryNET is similar to RetroNET (in it's theory anyway) Official 68k videographer Official MLA TourGuide "I'm just a normal computer geek who somehow landed a social life"
