Ryan,
I hope it pays to wait. If you compile MySQL/InnoDB yourself, you will
get unlimited BLOB and TEXT fields within 16 days. I am writing the
support for them now and I will release the source code at my website.
It will also be in the next binary release of MySQL/InnoDB, unless
Monty releases another one this week :).
Regards,
