Memory Tip

There is an "undocumented feature" in the Zoomer's memory management!

When you switch to different applications and get the "activating XXXXXX" message, Zoomer is NOT freeing all of the memory used in it's last application. You can see this if you use the menu
"File--->Info

in any application. Each time you switch to another application, Zoomer loses between 200 to 500 bytes of precious memory.

I confirmed this with Casio's PDA support (1-800-HELP-PDA). They are aware of the bug.

There is a very easy work around. When you see that your free resources are about 65 to 70%, or the Zoomer seems to be running slower than normal, press the reset button in the battery compartment. This frees up all memory that was "stolen" and your work is safe too.
