Good 'ole Applescript
This got me thinking on how long I've been using Applescript to handle various tasks here and there. I'm pretty sure I used it back in the days when I was on the Performa 460. I don't think I did anything really complex back then, though.
I'm pretty sure Applescript is the backbone of Apple's Automator. Of course it has to be. Yes, of that I'm sure. Yea.
I think that I was going to go into something more but I've forgotten what, as I write this.
More later...
ha! i've been using applescript back in the days of HyperCard 2.3 on my old Mac II! oh wait -- that was the language HyperTalk, but it could communicate with applescript, by golly. :P
In Hypercard 2.4, I believe you could choose to write your scripts in Applescript, I think but I'm not too sure.
aye, we never did get our hands on a copy of 2.4, did we? (did we?)
you know... the platform I design on today (Lotus Domino) is exactly like how Hypercard used to be back in the day. No wonder it always seemed so familiar.
Oh, yea. I did eventually get a copy of Hypercard 2.4 a while back.
