You'll be interested to know that I had conversations with Bob Perez 
(who was the HyperCard evangelist at the time), Jean-Louis Gassee, and 
others about putting HyperCard in the Mac ROM and adding a TCP/IP stack 
to it. That would have *become* the Web and it would have been earlier 
and better than what we ended up with. And Apple would have become a 
standard instead of a fringe computer.

Gassee nixed the idea.

The rest, as they say, is history.
