Remember that programs that have data that changes should leave the data on the Visor. Because of this, File Mover warns you when moving any Prefs file to the module. I was also warned when moving over DOC files. Handspring also says that not every program will be able to read data properly from the8MB module. There should not be any problems as long as the data does not need to be modified.

A word about battery consumption-- when running programs or accessing data on the 8MB module, there was not any noticeable battery drain. Moving data to/from the 8MB module will consume more of the batteries. It is not terrible, but I did notice my battery drop 10% after moving several megabytes of data back and forth.

Working with Programs

To see how well programs could be ran from the 8MB module, I moved MyBible, CSpotRun, and all Bible data and DOC files I had over to the module. They ran perfectly and showed no difference in speed. As I mentioned earlier, these programs since they are in flash will have a square bullet next to them. I noticed that Launcher III displayed some programs that were not in flash. This may be because LauncherIII caches icons. When I moved the CSpotRun and MyBible programs back to the Visor and left the data on the module, they read the data without a hitch. This can be very convenient for keeping data on the module that you do not use often but want to access quickly. Keep all of your fun etexts, rarely used maps, etc. on the 8MB module and drop it in when you go ont hat long trip.
