Thought of that one but didn't know how zen it was.

Not true, Beam receiving will interrupt an app for possibly extended periods
of time. I can't think of any other operation outside of your app that will
suspend your app for more than a few ticks. (I've already taken care of low
battery warnings while allowing the critical alarm to shut down the unit.
And alarms are no problem)
If I'm receiving data that is order sensitive, I don't want an IR source
interrupting during that process. (and another Palm may not be the source,
just pass your Palm near a laptop with HotSync running and sniffing the IR
port)
The actual Beam receive process doesn't cause a problem, just the fact that
my app becomes suspended could damage irreplaceable data. Like I stated
before, my intention is not to disable beaming, just postpone it for a few
ticks.
