Note: On the PalmPilot Professional with OS 3 upgrade:
There have been a few reports of version 0.59 crashing, and causing a "boot loop" (where you keep seeing the "Welcome to PalmPilot" message over and over again).
You should be able to fix this with a Warm Reset which will not delete all of the data on your Pilot, like a hard reset will:
Press the reset button while holding the UP button.
Thanks to Rob Gallop and Rick Pasetto for reporting this bug!
