- I got two responses to this posting. Both respondents said that they
- were on the seed list but hadn't yet received anything from Claris.
-
- So, I repeat: there is apparently no one outside of Claris who has a
- copy of a "nice and flashy" color version of HyperCard. Whether this
- indicates that the rumors are false, that the rumors are mostly true
- but the release has been delayed, or that the rumors are entirely true
- but Claris has managed to keep this version of HyperCard under wraps
- much longer and later than any previous version, I hesitate to say.
- I will say that the seeding program for HyperCard 2.0 began about nine
- months before the final version of 2.0 shipped.
