Pretty disappointed with the use of autistic as an insult. Really unnecessary and offensive.

I was a lover of hypercard. It seemed to rekindle some if the magic of AppleSoft BASIC when I moved from the Apple II to the Mac in elementary school. I remember being surprised at how difficult it was to program a Mac compared to an Apple II until I found HyperCard. It seemed full of possibility.

I'm inclined to agree. The word "annoying" would have worked about equally well without being as mean-spirited.
