i think this is a bad idea :(

i tried out datebk3 when i first got my palm.  didnt like it, too many
features that i didnt need, and a huge memory hog.  later, after they
upgraded it a bit, i tried it out again.  since i left the first version
in too long (past the limit), the new version wouldnt run with all
features.  even though i deleted the first version, it still left some
settings in there some where.  well, the author lost my sale, because of
two reasons, he disabled the new version because i had the old version
before, and he left rogue data on my palm.  i still dont know how to get
it out and still keep my prefs.
