Uh.. uh.. uh..hmm..uhh.... best guess would be.. uh.. a file extension for Palm Pilot programs?Lol

Edit: I surfed the web a bit and found this, "DAT Data file
DAT A data file extension used to designate an error message in a inbound internet email message (Microsoft Exchange Server v 5.0)
DAT WordPerfect Merge Data
DAT Extension used for some MPEG files"

oh, and what's the file name? Like what does it say before .dat? Doesn't happen to be..rdxr020305.dat ? lol

lol it could be a virus, or a useless file, i wouldnt think u get a dat file if u do anything ordinary, if u got it from a spam mail its a virus.... if u dont know what it is, delete it :D
