A PPC is somewhat like a destop pc in that if you are multi-tasking many programs at once, you're pc will bog down due to heavy Memory usage. Close down those programs you are not using and you should get some zip back into your pc. The same goes for the PPC. For some odd reason, the PPC is set up so when you tap the close 'x' icon on programs you really aren't closing the Program but just 'minimizing' it. Bottom line is that it is still running in the background and using up valuable memory. What to do?

Well you could go the long route and hit Start -> Settings -> System - > Memory and actually close running programs from there. I like the easy way. But it does cost some money. I use Pocket Plus and one of the many features is turning that fake 'x' into a real one. You can actually close the program when you hit it. You may remember I mentioned this program in an earlier post. I really must say that this is a must have program. If you want to take a look at it then go to Pocket Plus at http://www.spbsoftwarehouse.com/products/pocketplus/?en and check it out. You'll wonder how you lived without it.
