yes.. true - however it was not a virus as they marked it out to
be.. any application could do it.. how many released apps give
a hard-reset scenario? should "format.exe" be marked as a virus
or trojan horse?
anyone with some knowledge about PalmOS could do something very
creative - maybe thats one reason why trap patching wont be so
easy in future releases of PalmOS? (ie: ARM)? it would make
sense to me if this was done, however, it also prevents a lot
of valid patches to be made to the operating system

and.. not to mention put it through a solid beta test phase where
any serious data loss can be prevented. this is a much more serious
issue, that i think some ESD's should stamp down on.
in the mean time, lets continue :)
