256mb, if its affordable (anything under $1000 is a goal most wearharders can 
probably reach, if not, this is not the right hobby for them) could be used 
for a customized QNX, including a large amount of QNX software extenstions 
(like an application I guess?) and some of it could be part high level 
languages like Perl Python Ruby or even Java based apps... 
a dimm flash card + 586MOPS(plus regular ram) or something similar + some 
type of chording keyboard + some type of out put... ethier audio or video or 
char LCD screen and a battery, and you have a very nice and simple glorified 
notetaker... uh I mean solitare appliance... uh I mean, well you know what I 
mean

oh sure you could just buy a compactflash 512mb flash card, but how much more 
power are we talking when it comes to the dimm card vs a bus card of some 
sort...
ok sure its not that great of a difference... but how many ppl have seen a 
dimm flash card you can mount as a drive... 

ok about all this thing is good for is holding on to your PGP keys and a 
custom OS config.
any other ideas?
