d'oh! (Geek Post alert)*
Honest to God, you'd think I'd know by now to always always check to make sure I actually have a backup set on the SD card of whatever Palm device I get the urge to do a hard reset on, BEFORE I do the hard reset.
This is how I lost two months worth of data and text messages on my Centro earlier this year.
And this is why I'll be spending my morning recreating my T|X's innards. Because right now, it's ugly and doesn't have any programs on it.
I'm trying to get Kinoma Player to behave nicely with Orb. It works on the Centro (beautifully, I might add), but kept putting me into a "wrong login/password" loop on the T|X, with no apparent way to resolve it. Even uninstalling and reinstalling Player didn't fix it. Thus, the idea to do a hard reset.
The stupid thing wakes itself up at 1am every day to do a backup! It defaults to saving the backup on the SD card! Why isn't it actually finding such backups?!
Also, I would like to thank whoever invented Bluetooth, and also whoever decided to put Bluetooth on my T|X. No, that one is sincere. So much easier to transfer file programs over from my Centro.
And, if you have more than one computer in your house (I'm looking at you, and you, and definitely *you*) and possibly some mobile devices of some sort that will play media, you gotta check out Orb - So. Much. Fun.

edit: IT WORKED! I don't know how I misspelled either my username or password the first time, but I got Orb to work on the T|X, and now I can watch all 7 seasons of West Wing that I downloaded, in full wide-screen landscape glory! without the fear of running down my cell phone's battery! The down side of Orb (versus just loading media onto the card and using Kinoma to play it) is that I have to have internet connectivity - i.e. either wi-fi for the T|X, or cell coverage for the Centro. The upside is, I think Orb can play media files that the (free) Player doesn't support. And I don't have to load down my SD card. The Centro is still stocked full of music, because bad things happen when I don't have access to the complete catalog of Stephen Kellogg and the Sixers.
