I wonder how far back on the Time Machine scale you would have to put the 
Supercard Era? Or a more relevant question might be, can you accurately carbon 
date a Supercard CD (or floppy disk??), or have there been any excavations of 
them to work with? 

Many modern developers deny the existence of this mythical "Supercard", saying 
that the hope of a "better dev environment" drove the more ancient dev groups 
to form the notion of a "Super" Hypercard which they longed for, but could 
never really produce on the pre-preemptive multitasking systems of the day. The 
fact that they claim that they had a Hypercard but with color so far back in 
history lends some credence to these doubts. ;-)
