Weird little thing I just discovered:

Go to http://www.apple.com/hypercard and see what happens.

Not quite what you'd expect, hmm?

Odd. Very odd.

Does that count as an Apple endorsement of wikipedia?

Somebody edit the article to slander Apple !

Apple has all sorts of interesting redirects from their old, dead pages.

http://www.apple.com/powerbook/ goes to http://www.apple.com/macbook/ rather than /macbookpro

http://www.apple.com/iBook/ goes nowhere

http://www.apple.com/powermac/ goes to http://www.apple.com/macpro/ the only one of that lot that actually redirects to its successor 😛

I get a "page not found" when I try http://www.apple.com/macpaint. I was hoping it would redirect to something interesting, but I guess MacPaint was too long ago to have been eligible for its own webpage.

Then it would be a lie.

HyperCard 2.4.1 Retail Package Now Available

Cool. I somehow doubt that was approved by Apple management, particularly seeing as http://www.apple.com/emate didn't exist (I verified that link with Archive.org). So it was probably some web designer or the website administrator that threw that in. Designer would be my guess, since a lot more of that type of folk probably used HyperCard.
