I can't see how he could mean it in that way but here's the transcript verbatim so you can make your own decision... Jobs: An even more popular development environment was Hypercard and we were ok to axe that. Mossberg: It wasn't more popular than Flash was Jobs: In it's day sure it was Mossberg: On your platform right? Jobs: No, No, No, No, No. Hypercard was huge in it's day because it was accessible to anybody. To me it seems like Mossberg was trying to give him the opportunity to hedge or to clarify the statement and Jobs didn't take it.
