Steph,
That's good advice. A few times, I've had a problem when the built-in Wi-Fi
stopped working on my iPaq 4155. I keep several backups using the included
iPaq Backup program that came with my PPC on my SD storage card. First
I use the iPaq Backup to back up my current contacts and calendar to the
iPaq File Store. I then restore a previous good backup of all my data from
the SD Card to the iPaq. Then I restore the current contacts and calendar.
This brings me to a previous backup before the problem happened, and I
have my current contacts, etc. Works for me.
Scott
