> If your Mac came with System 6, 7, 8, or 9, you had HyperCard.
I'm pretty sure Apple stopped development of it before System 8, and I'm certain it wasn't bundled. I'm also pretty sure (but not absolutely certain) it wasn't bundled with System 7.1.
Hypercard 2 (1990) definitely required a separate purchase (I had to talk my parents into buying it), but I think we had Hypercard 1 from being bundled with System 6.
I think Hypercard was one of last gasps of the idea that computer users should have the tools to create their own applications.
