I forgot to mention why I wished this were possible... I'm thinking not of
use on the 130, but merely as a means to transfer such packages to a 2.1
Newton.... That was why I thought the freezing option would be nice. :-) Is
it possible to put an NIE extension on a card and insert the card in a 130?
What happens? Does the package get disabled? Deleted? I know it's a pipe
dream, but I think that if something could be hacked, it might be a way of
bootstrapping Newtons... (Simply beam from a 130 or older...) Now that I've
explained my point, is it still a hopeless dream? ;-)
