 disagree with those who only think Hypercard is good for
date books etc.
  A good use is for presenting complicated
ideas. As an example picture what would be a complicated
formula for an undergraduate in an introductory statistics
class, for example, the formula for a binomial distribution. By
clicking over any part of the formula (using a transparent
button) the student is presented with a discussion explaining
what that part of the formula means (for example the
combinations notation). In addition the student
then has the opportunity to go back to the original formula or to
see where else the subtopic he/she is looking at also has
applicability. 
  In otherwords I see hypercard as a tool to enhance
conceptualization of difficult material. This ability is
because of the nonlinear nature -- CHAOS (buzzword :-) )
Hypercard permits. 

Sorry for the terseness, I'm paying a long distance fee to
write this, and its been ages since I've used the vi editor.
But I couldn't help but put my 2 cents in.
