One option is to let the battery totally discharge, then recharge it. This can sometimes help the issues of batteries not consistently keeping a charge.

Well, considering that it shut itself down, I figure that is the closest I can get to full discharge (without waiting for the week or so for it to delete everything). After a week of no charge, it will "erase" everything I added (it did this the first time I let it sit).

It's strictly "as created".)

I looked into upgrading the OS version but saw this.."You can't. While the Palm m130 has flashable ROM, which means a new OS can be written to the ROM (or your own data and programs, with tools such as JackFlash), Palm OS 5.x and later is fundamentally incompatible with the 68K Dragonball CPU used in the m130." Which is what you mentioned below..

The CPU used in earlier Palm devices like the M130 is the Motorola "Dragonball". It can "see" up to 16MB of RAM and 22MB of ROM.
Mathlib is a floating point library used by the calculator. Like the calculator itself, I believe it is in ROM and not removable.

Well, deleting was a nice thought, but I guess I really haven't spent much time investigating this thing yet... I may have to wait until Winter Break to have the time to really learn what I can and can not do...

It is fun, and I've found myself pulling it out to read on it in the dark and when I only have a minute or two of time. I thought I wouldn't like reading on a smaller screen, but found it wasn't that bad.
