Well, of course, I use linear flash cards. I got in on
a deal a while ago and purchased a few 4mb cards. This
coupled with a 6mb and my 32mb card I have backups
everywhere.
You can backup to a card that has packages on it as
long as there is enough space on the card for the
backup. When you insert the card, it will pop up an
insert slip and just tap the button "Backup". Then
when you insert the card in your new Newt, tap the
button "Restore". If you tap the "Erase" button, you
will be given a choice if you want to erase just the
backup or the entire card.
I don't have any spare cards, but perhaps someone else
on this list has one they can sell you...

Why is that all of the instruments seeking intelligent life
in the universe are pointed away from Earth?
