    Is there a point (other that saying it can be done) in going with
cards/drives of this size on a Newt?
    Remember, every package will take up some heap so even 1GB of packages
will likely leave you with zero heap. Or you'll spend most of your time
freezing and unfreezing packages.
    I'd say sticking to several 16MB or 32MB cards that you can swap as
needed might be a better route.
    Just my $0.02
