> Atkinson still uses HyperCard every day. His address book is a big HyperCard stack, and he has written a number of custom programs to help him with his photography and to maintain his website.

I wonder if he still does in 2020? Or if not, when did he stop?

When was the last Mac that could even run HyperCard? 2006 I think?

Whichever PowerPC computer was the last one Apple released. (Then you can use Tiger + Classic Environment).

But, you could also use Mini vMac, which is a very capable emulator.

^ It can, but I've found it to be not particularly pleasant to use. Lots of weirdness, particularly around input. It may have been my setup, but still.

Mini vMac by contrast is quick, pleasant, and plug n' plug. (It's also emulating a completely different era of course, but it's enough for hypercard.)
