Hypercard nostalgia

There are times when I feel a strong sense of nostalgia for Hypercard, a simple software development environment that was available on Macintosh computers in the 1980s. Hypercard was one of the things that first sparked my interest in computing, visual design, and interaction design when I was a child. Even though I could barely speak English at the time, I was able to learn how to write scripts in HyperTalk, a language that was designed to be easy to read and understand. Hypercard was a truly innovative and groundbreaking tool that had a profound impact on my life and my career, and I will always have fond memories of it.

HyperTalk example:

ask "What is the value?"
put the value of card field "typehere" into theValue
put it into card field "display"

I came across a website that had compiled a collection of over a thousand visual clip art assets from the Hypercard era. As soon as I saw these images, I was immediately transported back to my childhood and the memories of using Hypercard flooded back to me. It was a truly amazing and nostalgiciac experience, and I couldn't believe that someone had taken the time to collect and curate such a comprehensive archive of these clip art assets. It was a true treasure trove of memories and I am so grateful to have stumbled upon it.
