Should I forget HC? Honestly?

[Kee Nethery]

As someone who last year sold all my PPC Mac Minis that ran HyperCard, I’d suggest that you either get a version of Mac OS 9 running in a simulator, and run the real HyperCard, or switch to Livecode in all its glory.

Trying to build a limited version of Livecode, that mimics HyperCard,  seems like a lifetime of chasing bugs for a small number of users who probably want to actually build something they can run on their smart phones. 

Sure they can build great things with what HyperCard had to offer, if only they could use that one modern feature available in Livecode.

I suggest you teach them a solid subset of Livecode and let them discover everything else on their own. 

Just my thoughts.

But certainly not without an approximate suggestion of the price. My email at the University of Oslo is ingar.roggen at sosiologi.uio.no. Why not give it a try?
