In the following sequence of screens, clicking anywhere on one of the
"June 1990" displays (each of which is a screenshot from the original
HyperCard document) will take you to the next screen. The Down arrow below
each display also takes you to the next, and the Up to the previous display.
This is only a demo: It is totally static and reproducible, since each
display is actually a screenshot GIF. In the original, the displays were
dynamically created, and the viewer was given options about how fast the
screen should be changed; one of which was "only on mouseclick"
which is essentially what we have here. (In the original, this option also
enabled you to click on the statement and see its source and some supporting
data.)
The default presentation was of six screens, followed by a "Continue?"
dialog box. There was a mechanism that prevented the display of the same
information twice until, I think, two-thirds of them had been displayed;
since I only made a very small database, on the second go-round you might
see the same sentence again, but the chance of it being coupled with the
same adjoining pair was miniscule. Naturally, enough basic data would essentially
eliminate the possibility of repeats.
