In principle the new nvram Palm devices should work exactly like that.. not that I'm going to find out - I see more possibilites with my N800 than with my mostly very nice old Palm T3.

Yup. At the same epoch, Psions and Palms were all in volatile RAM, "watch you battery"-land...

Speaking of the Newton...have you seen this article comparing it to the n800? http://cs.gmu.edu/~sean/stuff/n800/
Likely someone very much like you was the author.

There is a thread already here on ITT discussing that article if you're interested. The search function should be able to find it, hopefully.

I appreciate the patience demonstrated by the senior members towards newly arrived strangers in a strange land (including myself) who arrive with little background or experience in the subject at hand.

Oh no. I'm not worthy to hold Sean Luke's stylus.

Glad I found this thread. I was all ready to upgrade to Gregale in order to install Maemo Mapper. Now I've learned the upgrade wipes out all of the other apps that I've installed. Seems like a real pain in the arse. Is it worth jumping thru all the hoops of reinstalling several other apps in exchange for Maemo Mapper v1.4 and a possibly better operating system (Gregale)? Don't get me wrong, I'm sure Maemo Mapper v1.4 is fantastic. I just don't know if I want to go thru all the hassles.
