I remember PointCast!
Does anyone remember HyperCard? It helped me understand
what the
Internet was about earlier than most of my peers.

Ha! Yes, I used Hyper card for a while. Not very much
real-world use, as
I recall, but that's a good point.
I believe I started the whole hypertext thing. When I was a
kid I would
look something up in the encyclopedia, then get interested
in some other
reference and pull out another volume to follow that up,
then see a word
I didn't know and get the dictionary out to look that up...
and so on.
And that was 45 years ago!

Hey, yeah-- I used to make point-and-click adventure games
using
HyperCard on my parents' old black and white Macintosh...
Good times!

I agree. I had to do a project in HyperCard in grad school.
Though
Mosaic (and soon Netscape) were just out, that's when I saw
the real
possibilities of the Web.

If you liked Hypercard, try Tiddlywiki:
http://www.tiddlywiki.com/
It's basically a Java-enabled, one-page (yes, only one page
of HTML)
wiki.
There's a GTD version, too: http://shared.s
napgrid.com/index.html
And a student edition: http://ch
eckettsweb.com/tw/tiddlywikise.htm
In its native state, a Tiddlywiki lives locally, on your
hard drive, a
zip drive, etc. Folks have come up with server-side
versions, though,
for permanent Web uses.
Fun stuff.
