Build for Classic

[Kay C Lan]

The month of May must be the 'death of OS9'  month as I notice at this time
last year there was a thread entitled 'The End of OS9 Development'. Back
then I offered my own prediction of when OS9 Development would cease and I
offer it again, updated:

<q>
As one who is constantly amazed at the continual flow of HyperCard refugees
that popup on this list I provide my own calculation of when the death of
OS9 will be:

When you see the last reference on this list of someone who is looking for a
HC alternative or 'converting' a HC stack then punch the stop watch. Then
count the years,days and minutes to the last HC release - 1995 some time I
think.

With the result, add it to some time in 2002 - the year the QuickSilver G4's
came out. The early ones came with OS9, the later ones came with OSX.

So no earlier than 2014 if today was the last HC reference day.

</q>

Actually the last person seeking assistance with HC conversion only happened
in Apr07 :-)

On a slight tangent I notice Dan Shafer posted some opinions on the topic
back then - I haven't seen Dan on the list for quite some time.... Is he OK?
