During a meeting in Amsterdam (you know, in Holland) Bill Atkinson said
something about using HyperCard in combination with a CD-Rom device.

In short: HyperCard saves the _changes_ you make to a CD-Rom on disk (harddisk
most likely) and when read again, reads the 'image' from CD-Rom and
applies the changes made to it (reading them from disk, naturally).

I agree the AutoSave 'feature' is annoying, but it seems no problem when
used in combination with CD-Rom.
