HyperCard for the iPad

[Jerry Daniels]

MJ and I were just discussing the fact that the entire iPad itself is  
HyperCard-like. The original HyperCard, that is.

Think about it...there are no windows, there's just a screen. It's got  
the Home stack and everything. It's fairly modal, also.

Best,

Jerry Daniels
