Hi Harry and Alex, i am so glad you are discussing this matter, because I use the palm zire 71 and am not sure what i will be in for when i turn to Panther. At the moment I use palm desktop on my powerbook, because I like that you can print whole addresses from the Palm software, not so with Apple addressbook. There you can only print telephone numbers or e-mail addresses with the name. That is a flaw of that Apple addressbook and irritating to me. Neither can you print your calendar in a list form, which to me is important, because i can go back and trace all appts and events etc for the last few years in a printout list. I had hoped with Panther it would be different, but apparently it is not.. With my i-Mac I sync all the palm data and Apple addressbook stuff and iCAl and through my .mac account everything to my powerbook and sync the pictures into my i-photo folders ( zire 71 has that little camera in it) . The trouble with i-sync is that it overrides all the palm desktop except the note pad and the pictures. In order to not have to change conduits all the time from the abled to the disabled, I chose to hot-sync palm stuff only on my PB to get all the entries that can be printed in addressbook form, and i-sync everything on my i-Mac which then shows on my PB too. If anybody could tell me how to print out address lists from the Apple stuff, I would not need the palm addressbook and calendar at all. ( there once was a download where you were to work through text-edit to print total addresses, but it was not successful, it lost its formatting.) Will Panther tell you what to install for Palm? Or is that a new download? I, too have too many palm do-dos and conduits etc floating around. Marta On Saturday, Jan 3, 2004, at 13:41 US/Eastern, Alex Whitman wrote:
