If I ever get the proper GPS card, I'll have that and a WIFI card as well.
Therefore the added memory [HDD] space would be appreciated, especially with
the amount of space the Ethernet data set size is!
I also would like to see a heap increase. So much so, that I would be
willing to assist in funding the project. PCBman, if your limitation is
cash, send me a direct e-mail to discuss funding possibilities.
Sincerely,
Paul Curtis

Since I'm one of the lucky people that have an EZ2TV card I can vouch
for the fact that you won't be doing this... ;-)
Seriously, it seems that the poll is being decided very fast while I
have the feeling that a lot of people don't fully grasp what was
offered, seems confirmed by the last few posts on the subject.
I personally was still debating my choice when the poll went final, but
it definitely wouldn't have been expanded internal memory, there might
be a speed gain but AFAIK it's negligible because I never realize that
I'm working off my card or from internal...

True in theory, not true for me in real live.

I love Freeze Utilities... ;-)
(I'm still using a 32 MB Flash card in my Newt though, even though I
registered for the full version with Paul for the ATA driver)
