Re: [PilotMgr] Forgetting the date

[Sumanth Kamatala <Sumanth.Kamatala@xxxxxxx>]

I have Palm III and noticed the same problem recently(losing days & Appointment 
notifications). I have changed the batteries and I still have this problem. I am 
suspecting it to be some rogue app that I may have downloaded.

Anybody has clear insight as to how the dates/appointments are managed in Palm 
OS and how these apps interact?

Thanks,
Sumanth
