New PDA

[Greg Newell]

Michelle,
         I actually knew the part about taking the programs out of 
active memory. The GPS unit is a resource hog so i have to do that 
upon arrival at every place were in I used the GPS to get there. 
Since the GPS unit uses bluetooth to connect the receiver and PDA I 
have to shut off the wireless function too to save battery power.
         Be aware that holding the power button for a few seconds 
simply takes away the back lighting of the screen. This too saves 
battery power but does not by any means shut the unit off.

all the best,
Greg Newell
