I haven't noticed much of a slowdown. I have a 1gb card and install most everything there that doesn't need to be in the main memory.

As for the soft resets, I do them a few times a day just to free up memory, so I don't know how much I really need to soft reset.

I have never had any problems installing any of the software I have, and I have installed both through a windows installer with activesync and directly installing on the Axim with the cab file.

There is always a possibility that anyone may install something that conflicts with the Axim or another program on it. That is why it is always important to do regular backups, either with the built in utility or with activesync or both.

How much did most of that cost? Is PDA software pretty cheap? I have tried to look for some freeware stuff, but most of it does not look too stable, so I haven't tried them.
All the commercial software I have cost a total of about $40.00. I haven't had any problems with any of the freeware I have listed.

With those weather programs, does it auto-update when you connect to a wi-fi network and/or your Active Sync?
PocketWeather does update itself with an internet connection. I believe most of the weather programs do.

That pocketBreeze seems to be on everyone PDA, I might look more into that.
PocketBreeze is an excellent software that I would recommend to anyone. It allows you to see and edit all your PIM info right on the today screen without having to open the pims themselves. The program is A1, as is the support that comes with it.

Your PDA link is very helpful, I'll have to really sit down and look over those programs and see what could work for me. I'm rambling now.. thanks for your post. :)
Thanks, and you are welcome. BTW....Welcome to Aximsite. This is the best place on the internet as far as I'm concerned to find the answers you are looking for.
