[comp.sys.mac] Sculley's address at MacWorld?

jellinghaus-robert@CS.Yale.EDU (Rob Jellinghaus) (02/06/89)

According to a recent MacWeek, Sculley planned to deliver an address at
MacWorld about multimedia and the future of personal computing, using
examples of what can be done today with new hardware, as well as visions
of what else is coming down the road.  Did he ever actually deliver such
an address?  Is it written up anywhere?  Did he say anything interesting?

Yes. Yes. and Yes.
See last week's MacWeek for details. It's the front page lead item.

Basically, what he did was to demonstrate video integrated into HyperCard,
using AST Research's video interface. It puts live video (or video disk, or
whatever) into a window on the Mac's screen. He demonstrated it under control
of HyperCard, using some pre-product software he called HyperTV.
