No, it wouldn't. I think that storage is actually highly over rated
on the Newton. It's not a platform for music or high resolution
images with a few exceptions.
I have been using my 2100 for years , and still have plenty of
space available on the 20Meg linear flash card that is my daily
driver. This includes many documents going back to my MP120 (7+ years).
It sounds attractive to have gigabytes of storage, but it isn't
really that useful on Newton, as it turns out... GPS maps might be
one exception I suppose.
my 2c US,
Marty
