Managing Memory
Your hp Jornada uses three kinds of memory: the hp safe store folder,
storage and program memory (RAM), and optional CompactFlash memory

erased if your hp Jornada loses power. The hp safe store folder contains

The hp safe store folder appears under the My Device folder on your hp
Jornada. Files stored in the hp safe store folder are not included when you
