Oh, agreed. But, the file will compress nicely, especially if the virtual
file system is used for text, source, or isn't completely filled with data.
It's mostly zeros when empty. I have a 50M file, 20% filled, which
compressed to 1.8M. So a USB memory stick could be used to transfer the
compressed file, or several compressed files.
