RAM erased
==========

Today I wanted  to re-charge my Palm  Tungsten W. So I  connected it to
the wall charger (and original Palm  one, of course). It didn't respond
at all. So I had to reset it. To my surprise it did a full reset.

On  the  old   Palm  devices  the  full  reset  erases   all  data  and
programs because  they are  stored in  the RAM. It  was the  case here,
unfortunately.

So I need to  install all programs and data once  more. Well, it's also
an opportunity to try the Palm  Desktop for Mac functionality. Maybe it
will be able to restore stuff from backup. I will see.


Such situation cannot occur on (most of) ARM-based Palm devices as they
use non-volatile memory for storage. This  is also the reason why I use
the Palm Centro as my (second) phone  instead of the Tungsten W. I like
the old good T|W much more but  the Centro is much better in situations
like this one...
