One thing about Sram, it does not wear out like Flash will. Oh sure
everything fails eventually, but flash has a definiate usable life limit.

I have the Apple Newton- and Sony Magiclink-branded one meg. SRAM cards.
SRAM cards are a little(in milliseconds) faster, but not worth the cost
difference.
I can't remember exactly, but I think the SRAM cards don't do the
'compress/decompress' cycle when you access/transfer info./pkg.????
Besides, the cards need a lithium watch-style round batt. to maintain the
memory.
