It's your lucky day. I'm going to tell you how to get rich.
The first thing I thought of after having seen Hypercard was that
it is the perfect way to computerize the Scott's stamp
collectors catalogs. You could have a stack for each country.
Each card would have a picture of the stamp along with its
catalog number, price information, and quantity in collection.
The graphics possibilities would make this very attractive to
serious stamp collectors, although to do this right you'd have
to work with Scott to get permission to digitize the pictures
of the stamps. In fact, you'd want to work with Scott for other
reasons.
Being basically lazy, plus not knowing a thing about Macs, I'm
not going to do this. I'll probably be sorry.

You could have a stack for each country. This isn't the first idea to come up about computerizing catalogs. On CompuServe the people who put out the World Almanac have been sending out feelers to see how much people would be willing to pay for a Hypercard version of the almanac. They seem to have settled on $29.95, which would include a hard copy. Seems like a pretty good deal to me! Jan Harrington, sysop Scholastech Telecommuications ihnp4!husc6!amcad!stech!sysop
