But once he gets into that space i am not saying its a direct descendant of hypercard but it has turned out to be hypercard-like only with a great compositor / quartz renderer. Hypercard let's "normal" people program simple apps. I really would not call then "totally different" both have a simple language to build apps. Konfab's just look much much better because hypercard never made it to the OSX world.
edit:
Actually, the more i think of it, if hypercard had continued development by apple, and let's say its OSX savy and all, in which ways would it be different then konfab? I think there _would_ be ways that each were different then another, but they would be _similar_ in more ways IMO.
Of course we won't know for sure since it was canceled but i doubt apple would not have made hypercard do most if not all the visual dohickeys that konfab does.They invented the whole quartz thing after all.
I think hyper card is more like automater than dashboard but other than that.

Totally.
Within about four lines I knew exactly what the rest of the article was going to say. It simply makes sense. OSX is just getting easier to program on. Client side web applications with their own expos� layer that are completely integrated into the OS.
The scope for widgets is huge and by the launch of Panther in under 18 months there will be dozens of web pages where you can download widgets (never mind the undoubtful complete suite brilliant default Apple ones) and hundreds of talented widgets designers. Oh and why not use you own talent? Build a great one that does exactly what you want it to do.
I can't wait.

I can't wait.
Well, here's good news for you: You don't have to wait at all!. Go to any Apple Store and pick up Panther for $129, easy as pie! 
(Even if it is Tiger you're referring to, the wait should hardly be 18 months: first half of 2005 = max 12 months, and I doubt we'll see Tiger only after next years WWDC)
