But Flash ROMs get bigger too.
If bloat is avoided, it ought to be possible to get as far as a
Workbench screen without disk icons in a few seconds. Then the hard
drive icons can appear as the drives spin up.
If a simple text editor or word processor was built into Flash ROM, you
could start typing within 8 seconds, which is the timing to aim at.
(Transwrite is 200k).
If you had 4 or 5 Megs of Flash, even a web browser could live there and
be ready for instant use. (The main program is less than 1 Meg but you
need fonts, MUI or equivalent, TCP stack, etc).
Of course this assumes a web browser which is stable and bug free. ;-)
