Example stack (storing external data)

Something to consider - will the size of this data stack keep growing
indefinitely? If so, every time you save it, you are saving the entire
data set, not just the new card. This gets cumbersome when the stack
gets very large. With an indefinitely expanding data set, you need to
work out a scheme for archiving old data, or creating a new stack every
year (or month, or whatever), or saving each record as an independent
stack, or as an independent text file.

As for the "not easily readable" part, you can set the password 
property to encrypt the stack.
