I think we all are, considering that storage is something that one always
has a need for.

If you do need inexpensive Linear Flash for backups and such with SBM or
MobileBackup, I'd suggest Paul Braham's 6 MB cards at $35/card. They work
well, they're cheap, and purchase goes towards maintaining Info-Newt. The
