Abstract
In a sense Macintosh developments, as of late August when this is being written, are in a static mode that reflects, perhaps, the supposed indolence of summer. MacWorld Expo in Boston was similar to the MacWorld Expo in San Francisco that I attended: more a showcase for existing ideas and a sales‐room than a place for startling new innovations. Perhaps the sense of ennui results from Macintosh users waiting for delivery of three important products: System 7.0, the new Macintosh operating system that has been promised repeatedly during the year, new and less expensive Macintosh models scheduled for production and delivery by the early fall; and implementation of the new HyperCard upgrade that is available now to developers in a Beta test version. This column notes the promise of these developments, continues the series describing Macintosh software, and illustrates the application of HyperCard to library procedures.
