As for my friend...I should have stated he has a Toshiba, not a Dell. But as I understand it he overwrote a part of the memory where the main OS image lives. Who knows...as long as I can restore my Axim to how it was when I got it from Dell if need be, I'll be fine.
Thanks for the help!

No, Activesync does NOT backup the main memory, it only syncs whatever you have selected to sync.
To reiterate: Most program uninstall gracefully, some do not. ICBar works well, uninstalls easily. Sometimes when uninstalling a soft reset is required (Think CTRL-ALT-DEL on the pc). Rarely, a hard reset is required (Think reformat hard drive, reinstall operating system). I've owned 5 pocket computers over the last 4-5 years and have done ONE hard reset (to install WM2003). (EDIT: I remembered a second hard reset--to overclock a Casio E-125--hard resets are rare!)
A good backup is PocketBackupPlus from
Sprite Software . It can back up to your SD or CF card, or to a PC. I put my backup in Built-in Memory (encrypted and compressed) so that if a disaster befalls me on the road I can restore and be going again without having to get back to a PC somewhere.
