I keep my VMWare images, and no fewer than 10 old SAGE installs in my home 
directory, so it totals at around 30GB -- so I'd never notice something that 
small.  However, if I sync'd my home directory to a remote host over DSL... I 
might keep these things in another place.

The scheme I described would grow very slowly; I don't think any worksheet (if 
it's at 32k) would take up more than 1MB or so.  It would be pretty simple to 
add a "snapshots=False" argument to notebook(), though I think William's last 
statement on such things was to keep the number of arguments down.
