It's a Conputer Chronicles episode on HyperCard with creator Bill Atkinson.
What's striking is how ordinary people (the used-car salesman for instance) actually _programmed_ their machines to solve a real-world problem.
This is such a drastically different paradigm then today, where even the savvy are more often consumers than producers, when it comes to computing.
Anyway, HyperCard was amazing.
