Windows CE eHow-tos and Tutorials! WOW!!

I would use being busy as an excuse, except I'm always busy. ;-) Call it, lack of creativity about coming up with blog entries. I don't know how Mike Hall does it. Anyway I've gotten a couple of questions about allocating large amounts of memory, that

CE memory division between "storage" & "program" memory

Somehow I've been involved in a bunch of discussions on this subject lately, so I figured I might as well lay out some of the issues. Q: What are the ways to set the way memory splits between storage & program memory? Or in other words, how do I set
