One difference I noticed between having a varchar and a note
column in a table is that if you will be exporting the data (say
to an Excel file), you will just get the word [BLOB] for a varchar
field, whereas you would get the full note.  I searched to see
whether there's a setting or option to download varchars any
other way but I couldn't find it.    So if you need to export a field,
then you need to stick with a note field.

I am going to switch to a varchar in 7.1 so I can have
more than 4k for the notes.
