Bill Atkinson was a very fascinating guy. His interview with Leo Laporte from 2013 is a great listen. Here's a little 6 minute clip: An acid trip, and the origins of Hypercard. ▶ this video
HyperCard was before my time but I love learning about it. It's pretty easy to draw a line from HyperCard to the web and web apps we all use today. It's also funny because the creator of HyperCard (Bill Atkinson) thought up the idea wall on LSD on a park bench: ▶ this video
From the Laporte interview: "I'm 65. I can tell things I wouldn't [have] told if I were earlier. Hypercard was inspired by an LSD trip." ▶ this video
