  SuperCard is _very_ slow. You can't use it on a Plus or a SE, you need at
least a MacII. But even if you use a MacII, HC on a MacPlus is faster!
  If you want, I could send a copy of a stand-alone application created
in SC. The standalone is just as slow as SuperCard itself.
  I think SuperCard is fantastic: most of the problem I have with HC have been
fixed in SC. But I'm not going to use it if it doesn't get faster.


>hard to learn,

  You must be really used with HyperCard and HyperTalk before you enter SC 
and ST, which is a super-set of HC and HT.
