No, the Newton won't even suggest to cut down the note. In my case, I
discovered it after noticing that the backup was always failing while
backing up notes. I then thought a little bit about what I have done since
the last time I had a successful backup and then remembered BigNotes. When
to my "big" notes and started trimming it down. Then, I tried backing up and
it finally succeeded. I then proceeded to delete the BigNotes package. Never
had any problem after that...
