If your application will be used on the desktop, you could ignore this
mention as being relevant only to PDA devices. It is a good point, though,
to break up your resources as much as possible..by sticking static strings in
chunks and accessing them that way...and other things like breaking menus or
sub menus into seperate resources that only get called when needed...but not
loaded directly by the UI...these things will help thin out your large
program.
