Interview wtth inventor of hypercard Bill Atkinson

[Sean Cole (Pi)]

A lot of what he is talking about here is what they are now calling Machine
Learning. I didn't 'fully' understand how this worked. But a few paragraphs
from Mr Atkinson here helped me immensely. I'm all the better for it.
Thanks, Bill, on so many levels.
