Hi from Paris,
Paul explains it well - but let's look at it another way ! It all
depends on who you are, where you are, and most important,
who you are talking to !
From Hypercard, through Supercard to Dreamcard, in
Transcript, or WHATEVER ! I find that the majority of people
I talk to have never heard of ANY OF THEM !! Maybe they are
living in another world ! Or perhaps, maybe WE ARE !
Incidentally, I prefer to live in my world (yours too ?) !
Call it Transcript if you will ..! Who cares ? We dig it !!!!!
Close to English - Certainly Not ! But acceptable to many,
English or not - "Bien Sûr" (Of Course !)
Precursors - Without a doubt !
