Works for me.  You could put several hundred MBytes in a system with 2
cards.  Another possibility, not yet available commercially, is the new
IBM microdrive, a 340 MByte hard disk that weighs a hundred or two
grams.

I'm not disputing the need for remote connection and storage, just the
lack of need for local storage other than working store (RAM).
