Sorry for the strictly Palm question, but this is as close to a Palm list 
as I have right now, and seeing as how there should be several on this 
list with a Palm, maybe someone can help me.

We record our GEEZ data onto a Palm M100, OS v. 3.5.1.  The time before 
last when I replaced the batteries, the machine completely reset itself.  
I had to reinstall all my applications, including all the GEEZ apps and my 
productivity applications like Mine Sweeper and Backgammon.  :-)

I didn't pay a lot of attention to things when I swapped the batteries, 
but noted the machine was on when I turned it over after installing the 
new batteries.  I _thought_ the machine was off when I pulled the old 
batteries, but was not certain.

I just swapped the batteries today, the SAME thing happened.  This time, 
though, I KNOW the machine was off when I pulled the old batteries, and I 
installed the new ones within the 1 minute window you are supposed to 
have.  Reinstalling all the software, and ANYTHING I might have entered 
into the machine at each battery replacement would significantly limit the 
usefullness of this machine, and hence, the GEEZ.  Does anyone have any 
idea what is happening?  

I had not gotten to the point where I had received a low battery warning.  
I was probably at about 20% battery life left (I replace the batteries 
early when we are going to have an event and the battery level is less 
than 1/2).  Thank you for any input.
