Here comes some banter sans jaunt,
I would disagree with leaving anything on the device, I consider that rude.
Why would I want your little piece of code on my very limited Palm after I
decided to deleted it. This practice is agrevating enought on a bloated
Win95/98 registry. I try shareware for the palm all the time and this would
and probably does result in hundreds of chunks of useless data eating up my
memory.
How about using just slightly anoying popup screens, or turn off some killer
feature in the shareware version. There are other non-intrusive ways.

Save the date in the backed-up preferences database if it's not already
there. It stays even when the app is deleted. Some might argue that this
ends up cluttering the machine but IMHO not as much as a second creator ID
and left over databases. Let the jaunty banter begin! :)
