Getting things the wrong way round . . .

[-= JB =-]

The point was not marketing was the failure of HyperCard
but that without proper marketing it will fall like HypeCard.
Apple did not even need to market HyperCard since they
could have given it away forever and continued to invest
in its research and development.  It would have cost them
pennies in the long run and had they made it crossplatform
it would have brought in enough new users to pay for itself.
