Strictly speaking you are correct Richard. To be more precise http and html are merely a legacy of hypercard/hypertalk. I beg your pardon I will try to be more precise. Wikipedia too is not written by experts, so you can alter their facts if you fell they are wrong. We are all to a certain extent captives of legacy. I am on many lists and find that I sometime grab a convenient answer without properly checking it validity.

FYI, Hypercard and it's programming language have nothing to do with HTTP, nor HTML or anything else. It was completely different. Hypercard 1.0/hypertext was the first language i was really interested in (I liked Tandy BASIC, however the machine died. I grew up using a Tandy CoCo 2.)

I don't quite understand what you mean here Alex:
Jobs' failed OS ???? Sounds interesting though.
And as for:
QBASIC-level scripting language are the backbone of the Internet? Perhaps you might expand on that one??
I was refering to the "HT" in "HTTP" And "backbone was a poor choice of words. I'm sure even sure whether the internet has one.

Put them both together you get NeXT, for Jobs's Apple HyperText and HyperCard Which today is the backbone of the Internet.
Jobs' failed OS and QBASIC-level scripting language are the backbone of the Internet? I thought Al Gore was the man behind it!
