I've only been using my Palm Tungsten C for about 18 months. In that time, I only connected it to my desktop when I needed to update software or move some documents to the Palm. Never did a hot-sync since I thought I thought the data would always be on the Palm.
Did you know that when your Palm completely drains the power, it loses everything? Yup, everything. I know, backups, backups, backups....

A bit late to the game... Palm OS based PDAs have worked this way for soon 10 years.
Yeah, yeah, but I've never run out of power.... Live and learn, I guess.
yeah, been like that for a while.
my (very old) palm III still loses its brains when the nimh batts go South. the problem nowadays with that one is finding a laptop that has an infrared port so that I can do the "docking" wireless: most only have that bluetooth crap and no infrared whatsoever.
One of the reasons I kept my old Asus laptop around: it works famously with both the Palm and my cellphone for updating/docking/whatever.
A Palm TX does not lose data if it runs out of power. Even though Palms are now "old fashioned" (e.g. smart phones) I really like mine.
