One of our local Seattle computer stores got 140 copies of HyperCard in
yesterday morning. By the time I got there at 6:00 to buy my copy, there
were 8 left.

I know that you are supposed to have 1 Mb memory to use hypercard, but heck, with all the hype I can't restrain my technolust. Can you use hypercard at all on a mac 512KE? Has anyone tried it? Harry Plantinga planting@cs.wisc.edu

Has anyone tried it? No, I'd be willing to bet that you can't. Here is one of my experiences: I have a Mac+ running MacServe with SuperLaserSpool running on it. Both of these take memory and because of these (especially the laser spooler) I cannot run HyperCard in full mode, I can only go 1 past browse. I'd be willing to bet that 512K is not even close enough. Herb Barad [USC - Signal and Image Processing Institute] email: barad@brand.usc.edu or ...!sdcrdcf!oberon!brand!barad

Has anyone tried it? Apple suggests 1 Mb with HyperCard, and with good reason. It turns out that 1 Mb isn't always enough! In just a few days of browsing and playing around, I have run out of memory several times. Usually, it says something like "There isn't enough memory to use the paint tools." One time, it got so thoroughly out of memory, it just put up a warning box and returned to Finder when I clicked OK. I'm upgrading to 2 Mb, in hopes that will be enough (what with MultiFinder on its way). -- ===================================================================== Ed Anson, Calcomp Display Products Division, Hudson NH 03051 (603) 885-8712, anson@elrond.CalComp.COM

One time, it got so >thoroughly out of memory, it just put up a warning box and returned to hmmm.. I've been working with HyperCard quite a bit without memory problems. The Handbook to HyperCard suggsts that it can be run in a 700K switcher partition. Are you sure something else isn't sharing memory with it? BTW, I got the Handbook from Computerware. It's targeted at a broad audience, and spends a lot of time on the basics. Of course, HyperCard itself was meant to appeal to non-programmers (as well as programmmers) and provide an excellent introduction to object-oriented programming (or so it seems to me).

What third-party memory upgrades exist for the Mac II, do they violate your warranty, and how much do they cost?
