- Springboard Modules (http://discussion.visorcentral.com/vcforum/forumdisplay.php?forumid=10)
-- Power Visor Profiles (http://discussion.visorcentral.com/vcforum/showthread.php?threadid=5005)

With the new Back-Up Modules (I am getting two) I will be able to have a Visor for work, school and Church without spending precious preparation time at my devilish P.C. I will just 'snap' the memory I need for church in before church, then 'pop' the memory I need for work in before work. Great!

To my understanding, it won't be quite so straightforward.

For a dual-use visor:
1) As you leave work for church, back your entire Visor up to your WorkBackupSpringboard.
2) Pop in your ChurchBackupSpringboard. Restore to the Visor.
3) Use Visor at church.
4) When done, back up your entire Visor, w/ new church notes, to ChurchBackupSpringboard.
5) Put WorkBackupSpringboard in. Restore. Go to work.

Seems to me you might be able to do better w/ some sort of software workaround and keep all the data online all the time. 8 meg is a lot of memory for this platform. You don't want to schedule a work meeting at the same time as a church meeting, do you?

I'd also be concerned about all the backup/restore cycles. If something went blooey during a backup or restore, you're risking your only copy of your data.

Could be that 2 8meg flash modules might get you closer to "separation of church and st.., er, work", but you'd still have only one desktop/base memory.

Just some thoughts.

John,

I think your right, for what he is trying to do the 8M Flash Springboard is a better choice.

-Eric

I agree with John and Eric, I don't think that the multiple backup modules is the way to go. I've had really good success with simply using different categories on my IIIx. The only feature that doesn't offer categories is the daily planner, but like John said, you don't want to have overlapping appointments. 8 megs is a lot of memory.

Just my thoughts. You may have something else in mind.
