OK, I'm helping my wife write a proposal to get her work group macs
running hypercard to use a stack environment she has developed that
would help there work performance by orders of magnitude.

Now, We are looking to keep hardware costs down so we are interested
in options regarding using tops so only one system needs a hard drive.

Can everything be done from the server? Each worker will have his/her
own copy of the stack so multi/user is not an issue (except for one
stack which is ok if it's read-only).  So, can we boot from locqal floppies
and then use hypercard and stacks off the net?

Also, these will be small stacks and speed is not much of an issue.

Any remarks appreciated.

Josh
