I have a different problem in writing to ROM. The Flash memory has a fininte number of write cycles. I don't know the Intel specs for this Flash, but I heard that CE has a management routine to move the writes around and even them out. If you want to put a new program in Flash every month, this will never be a problem. If you want to change a data file every day, your Ax would have to live for a very long time to create a problem. But data files that change frequently... why risk it? You only get one Flash, and when that nice new OS upgrade comes out, guess where it has to go.

Why not just synch to Outlook. You can't ever lose more than a day's data or so.
