Intestinal Pain For A Week

hello Dave

In 1989, the Macintosh computer was the best imaginable also because it included HyperCard, a software as dramatic as literally forgotten that lets you design the interface of the computer and give life to their objects using the English language. My Mac opened in HyperCard, and the Finder used it as a utility that was opened only in case I need to directly manipulate the HyperCard file.Fra other things included a floating horizontal windows which took its name message box ( or simply the msg: HyperTalk great!) where I could give direct commands like "open this program" - Or anything else.

Of course, older operating systems such as MS-DOS or CPM or Apple DOS or Unix predicted good or bad command line text interface. The difference is that in the message box write in a language compatible with English. I had admired in the Apple II text adventures of Henry Colombini, that made my computer much more human. Type:

"I see a cat "

">> eat the cat"

" Yuck, yuck! "

I would have liked to talk the same way to my Apple II, the type "Here I am" or "go out" , to feel healthy with a "goodbye Dave" .

Later I often want a message box such as HyperCard for my next Mac. EVOKE a window by pressing apple-M to write "open Photoshop" or "show me the mail" or "open the last document" . I suppose it is not impossible to write a similar application using AppleScript but no one has ever done. I guess the computer of the future work (without Finder) by touching the screen elements and giving orders - by voice or keyboard.

And I imagine that the computer will greet me.
