For those who are wondering about this, Dom is refering to comments that 
Phil Schiller made when I met with him about the decline of HyperCard 
some years ago. He told me that HyperCard was really "just a Rolodex" 
with little programming value, thereby proving that he knew nothing at 
all about the product he was encouraging Steve Job to kill.
