There's no place like Home

[James Richards]

You could do a lot worse than look at the HyperCard Home stack as a 
starting point for drawing in 'hobbyist' users (like me).  If your Home 
Stack is simply a launcher perhaps you could package different kinds of 
Home stacks for different kinds of users - something along the lines of 
the HC User level approach, or something that would work for different 
kinds of switchers e.g. a Home stack fro switchers from SuperCard - or 
whatever.
