Summary The paper of Skov (1989) has provoked additional comments from an everyday Macintosh user, which hopefully will help future “Hypertaxonomists” find fully adequate solutions to their needs. The use of HyperCard as a database program for taxonomic data presents one with the problems of a relatively slow program that has a limited capacity for data exchange. This should be evaluated before working with large amounts of data using this program. A combination of dBaseMac and HyperCard is recommended as a push‐button solution as easy to use as HyperTaxonomy by Skov (1989).
