- AT PAR??? At par with ToolBook? HyperCard 1.2.5 was better than
- ToolBook. SuperCard is better than ToolBook. HyperCard 2.1 kills
- ToolBook. ToolBook is the biggest dog of a software product ever to
- run under the biggest dog of an almost-operating system on the biggest
- dog of a computer on this planet.

- ToolBook is too slow, too space intensive, and too buggy for large
- projects. It makes a nicer address book than HyperCard, but I'd rather
- develop with HyperCard if the project is anything non-trivial.
- If you think you need color, SuperCard is fine. It's still slow, but
- more stable and less annoying than ToolBook.

- The day HyperCard needs to "catch up" to any HyperCard clone,
- especially on Windows; or for any other reason Mac users need to
- be "put on par" with Windows rip-offs, is the day I crawl into
- a cave with my Apple //e. "On par..." Sheesh!
