Synced (installed new app) with work computer, it deleted my old app!

So I bought Enigmo on my home computer and synced it to my touch a few weeks back. Today I was at work and on my break I bought Beatmaker using my same account, but on my work computer. I synced the app to my touch at work and it deleted Enigmo! How do I get it back, and how do I sync new apps without having itunes delete the old ones?

I believe that apps can only be synced from a single "home" computer. So when you synced Beatmaker, iTunes found no copy of Enigmo on that computer. So it deleted that app when installing the new one. In order to prevent deletion, you have to have all the apps you want on the computer you are syncing with.

Note that you can redownload any app you have bought, even on a different computer. So you could redownload Enigmo at work or Beatmaker at home and then sync both apps from the same computer.

Are you totally certain? Beatmaker is $20 and it tells me it's going to charge my credit card when I try to re-download...
