Hypercard (Bill's baby) was great; it's HyperTalk was a very cool alternative for many "usual" programming tasks. After it died, I kept using it until the web took off ... then, in a couple of hours, I used HyperTalk to make an app to convert my stack content into HTML pages. If it had only had networking built in, it'd probably have become the (much better) basis for the Web.
