NB. ROM = READ _ONLY_ MEMORY!!!
It is reserved for system, even if parts of it are usable, data that you
put in them may get overwritten when user upgrades their OS version.
Applications should only use the `common RAM` and not memory reserved by
the device manufactures, hence the "reserved" prefix. If you store data in
flash memory, Palm OS of future releases may and most probably will
overwrite that. If you want to permanently store data and you don't trust
Palm's RAM, then send it to a printer via IR, there're lots of APIs for
that around, you just have to look.
