Image-based persistence or something else?

Hi.

I'm working on a project that's kind of text heavy.
The details aren't really important, but it's going to
have to store a decent amount of hypertext (perhaps as
much as 5-10 megs) somewhere.

Right now I have a class that stores objects for later
retrieval in several collections. The persistence is
achieved by making the class a Singleton; it stores an
instance of itself in a class variable and provides
access to the object with a class message (#instance).

Is this a bad system? Should I be using something
else? Will this cause too much of a headache when
upgrading Squeak or transferring data from one machine
to another?

Thanks.
