Hi Garrett,
I didn't use my Newt 2000 for a little over two years while I switched
over to a Palm III.
When I went to use my Newt again, the data, both on the internal stores
and my card (16MB), was still there when I powered up the Newt after I
replaced the batteries.
Both the internal memory and card memory use Flash memory so they will
hold the data almost indefinitely without power being applied.
Not sure if I had to reset the time/date or not.
Before you ship your Newt, be sure to make a complete backup of all your
data.
I am not sure about pre 2000 models...
