HyperCard was a powerful, yet extremely easy to use tool for creating “stacks” — essentially flat-file databases that used hyperlinks as a way of navigating a stack of “cards”. You have to understand that at the time HyperCard was first released in 1987, there was no World Wide Web, so the concept of hyperlinks was completely new.

Taking the time to clean your Mac can help extend its useful life. As long as you’re doing a bit of cleaning, you may as well do a little Mac maintenance as well, to ensure your Mac not only looks good, but also continues to perform at its best.

We try and choose the best technologies and providers of our technology needs, and to have the best tools at our side as we pursue our goals. Sometimes that means working to persuade our company, workplace, or boss to understand a better way. OWC chooses Apple because of consistently reliable and safe operating systems, great software, and quality that lasts. PCs are catching up, and that's a good thing, but this isn't a Windows vs. Mac issue. It's much more than that...
