    Out of sheer curiosity _ what the heck do you plan to do with all that
storage on a Newton? If you were to even half fill it, you'd have to have
most of the packages frozen or you'd run out of heap _ and some of the soups
could become gigantic. And several hundred packages (about 20MB worth) is
enough of an organizational nightmare _ I can't imagine trying to keep track
of even a GB of packages. Am I missing something here?
