greetings, okay, I thought of a legitimate application for a program that does a hard reset that would be genuinely useful: In a fleet environment (e.g. the company bought 20 of them for field service work or meter-reading of some kind) and something like repair orders are beamed in at the beginning of the day, then the results are beamed back to a server at close of business. As each employee leaves the building he/she runs the "Forget" program and leaves the palm device in a charging dock. The next morning the dispatcher beams orders into the devices (as memos?) before the field service people arrive, so all the devices are interchangeable; no history to preserve.
It would be just as good or better to implement a "Forget" button in the application that only wiped the local pdb clean, but I can just imagine losing that argument with a middle manager (sigh. think I'll go read a dilbert cartoon...)
