Background apps: You can force stop from the Settings menu if you want to kill background processes that are not needed, or there are a lot of apps that let you schedule a regular task kill or do it manually. I use Android Assistant. PandaHome has one built into the app drawer. You shouldn't have to worry too much about it on the PE though, as 512MB is actually a ton of memory for Froyo. I do schedule task kills on my Droid, but it's on Gingerbread with 256MB. If I have 40MB free on that I feel like I'm doing well. My wife is using a Nook Color on Gingerbread and as far as I know has been running for a month without rebooting or killing tasks (it also has 512MB).

Old computers: Started on a TI99/4A, then used an Osborne 1 for a very long time. Go CP/M.
