The reason HyperCard didn't set the world on fire was simple: it didn't scale up very well. If you tried to build something ambitious with it, it just got slower and slower.

Imagine if HyperCard were combined with the Gopher protocol back in the day to download cards or stacks from remote locations like we do web pages today. Perhaps LOL Cats might have evolved decades earlier in a 1-bit Floyd–Steinberg dithered form.

You're right; corrected to world wide web. I was on Compuserve every day back then and thought it was wonderful. Except for the expense. Not only did we pay for the service, but we racked up hundreds of dollars every month in long-distance connection charges!

"before the Internet" ... Except 1988 saw the release of the Morris Internet Worm, a sophisticated piece of malware that used multiple methods of propagation to spread to a variety of machines rather than being designed for one specific machine.

Always wondered why Apple didn't build the Newton around Hypercard; would have had lots of ready-to-use stacks, plus ability for users to develop their own.
