	And a very *expensive* one too!

	Also, Flash memory (I know this from having a 5MB Flash Card in
my HP 100 LX) is *very* slow to write to (faster than a floppy disk write,
but not by a whole lot), although its a pretty quick read.

	So, considering the write speed, Flash wouldn't be a real
good solution (unless you're on an HP Omnibook--there's not much other
choice!).
