Funny, I've seen people spending weeks reentering data for a
hypercard stack into dBase on a PC after having hypercard
crash several times and losing their data several times.
(apparently, hypercard isn't very careful about opening and closing files)
Needless to say, they gave up on hypercard rather quickly...

The mac is one of the more unstable machines on the market.
