On other devices the memory is also used, but it is managed much better so
does not run out as fast. This is a big reason why even desktops or laptops
need to be restarted every so often. Basically, it is just bits of data put
in memory by a program that are not cleared out by the system; if anything
is in a part of memory, that part cannot be used by another program, so
these bits of data that are not being used cannot be overwritten, but they
are also never erased by either the program that created them or the
operating system. (Clearing out this data and erasing bits of code from
memory that are no longer being used is what is known as "garbage
collection".)
As to pleading for an upgrade, I doubt it. We have been asking for this for
years, and nothing has happened. We still do not even have better Word
support, which has been asked for for a longer time. Sorry to be so
negative, but that is how I see it. By the way, nice interview. At least we
now know that they have a new Word converter that is being worked on.
Have a great day,
Alex

Hi Alex.
Thanks for this!
So, with other "products", they never run out of virtual memory? Or do
they?
Also, at the risk of sounding mystical, where does the virtual memory go?
Does it mount up say on other note takers or conventional computers to a
stage where they too need to be reset?
Would a concerted campaign by BN users to get the c e upgrade have any
effect on HW??
Best!
Peter.

Windows CE 4.2 is the cause of the bad memory usage on the bn,
plus there is
little memory to begin with, especially when you are talking web
browsing.
If a site has a lot of images and fancy links it will probably
take up more
space, but there is really no way to tell. This is why
skweezer.com is so
nice.
Have a great day,
Alex

Why do some other note takers and conventional computers not run
out of
virtual memory?
Why do some sites use up so much more virtual memory than
others?
Is there a way of knowing which sites use alot, apart from
trying them and
having your BN tell you the message?
Peter.
