HyperCard was foundational for me. Not just for programming, but incidentally, for public speaking. As a kid in jr high school, I took part in a program where you’d give presentations about programs you wrote. My very first ones were HyperCard stacks.

Author here. Since posting the article so many people have shared their similar stories with me, though not yet with your public speaking angle. I knew HyperCard had influence, but I don't think I was quite prepared for just how much influence it had over this many people. Thank you for sharing!

It’s how I got my start into more than just tinkering with Apple BASIC!
