OK - I think I have it working. I was able to get the
addresses/contacts off the palm and into evolution. I also got the
calendar from the computer to the palm.
But that is the extent of my knowledge. It looks to me (from the palm
screen) that it is syncing everything on the palm to the computer. Is
that right? Does it make a backup of the games, bible software, etc
somewhere?
