Thanks for your help. Do programs run differently/faster from the
main memory than from an SD card?

Thanks again,

TJ

Unless I'm mistaken.... which is very possible.......... windows will
only *install* software onto the SD card. When you actually run it -
it loads them into 'program memory' which will always be on the device
itself. This means the SD card can only ever be 'storage memory'.

Program memory is therefore a precious commodity and as little as
possible shouls actually be installed onto the device - even with a
32mb device.

This is pretty much the only advantage PALM has over WinCE as an
operating system - I believe Palm 'runs' the version where it's
installed. Again this is a hazy understanding and I stand prepared to
be corrected by hordes of fuming PalmOS users.......
