I also call the storage heap: "Built-in Storage Memory"
so when they ask why their XYZ only has 11 MB of memory, I can say they have 11 MB of storage, the other 5 MB is like the DRAM in your PC and is used by applications, the OS (and graphics/video memory in some models), and not for storage like their PC's hard disk. Without that 5 MB, it would be like trying to run a PC with no DRAM in it. <http://www.nicholson.com/rhn/palmfaq.txt> Ron Nicholson HotPaw Productions <http://www.hotpaw.com/rhn/palm> ------Original Message------ On Thu, 29 May 2003 12:58:32, Mike writes: >"Removable Storage Media" > >My $0.02 :) ... >"Hal Mueller" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote in message >news:[EMAIL PROTECTED] >> >> >> What words have you found successful in helping your customers tell >> the difference between installing to main memory (the stuff built in >> to your PDA) from a VFS card?
