Thanks for the nice post on my "nice post" at PA. I decided to write it because I don't think that many Palm users are aware of how important it is to have a good backup program and keep an archive of them. They spend the money on the expansion cards, screen protectors and others and think they're set, that is, until they experience their first crash, or let the battery run down completely and lose all their data.

I personally make a point of doing a backup just before I install any new programs just in case there's any conflicts (and that happens) or bugs or whatever that causes a reset loop. It only takes a few more seconds of your time and it's well worth it. I've explained this and other ideas at Brighthand's Zire 71 forum where I've created a posting for the Zire 71 FAQ. My username is the same there.
