HyperCard was really cool at the time. Pure genius.
I used it to make a full-featured offline mail reader for a BBS I used to frequent in a few hours. Anyone remember offline readers (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Offline_reader)? :-)

Some people don't know the fun they're missing...
BTW, have you looked at squeak smalltalk? (http://www.squeak.org/)
I never really made the mental connection between HyperCard and Squeak before, but they really do have quite a bit in common (quirky, low barrier to entry tools that are immense fun and very flexible.)
