HyperCard's Release for Macintosh

Apple releases HyperCard for the Macintosh, bundled free with every new Mac. It democratized software creation, offering a card-based metaphor for organizing information and creating interactive applications.

Significance

While not directly "HyperCard IIGS," this event created the demand and conceptual blueprint that HyperStudio would later fulfill on the IIGS, setting the standard for accessible authoring environments and inspiring Roger Wagner's vision.
