How are you starting HyperCard?  If you just click on HyperCard, it will
generally find a copy of Home on the server, and chances are someone else is
"using" it.  You only need one copy of HyperCard, but you need multiple copies
of the Home stack.  As long as each user starts up on their own copy of the
Home stack everything works ok.

Actually, things don't work ok when you go off to another application.
HyperCard will try to find the Home stack on the server, which will either
cause "busy/missing" messages or a "where is Home?" dialog.  You can solve this
problem by giving all startup disks the same name and messing around with the
"Misc" STR# resource in HyperCard.
