Marta, With Panther you can indeed print every last detail from your Address Book. When you click File Print, you get a pop-up window where you can design your print-out: which printer, what size paper, vertical or horizontal, and a list of Attributes: phone, email, address, instant messenger, photo, job title, department, company, nickname, phonetic name, names, birthday, date, note, and homepage. If you check all the boxes, you get a very long print-out! (Address Book is much more customizable now; you can create your own attributes (like children's names. I suspect, though, that if you want those in your print-out you would have to list the children's names in a field that is on the print-out list. I would try putting the children's names in a category that I'm not using for that person, like phonetic name.) I personally think the new version is vastly better than the old, and so far I have not found anything I want to do that it can't accommodate. I will be the first to say, however, that my needs are not complex.) I have never tried to print my calendar, so I can't help you there. But perhaps I will try it just to find out. I have never had more than one Mac at a time, so can't help with multi-syncing either. I do have a .Mac account, and I have no idea how to do any of this without it! After you install Panther, you will only have to re-download the iSyncPalmConduit 1.2 from the Apple website. Once set up, your preferences stay put and you don't have to constantly fuss with changing conduits.

You know, I think Apple has Gates-itis. Bill Gates incorporated all his own software into Windows trying to get consumers to use only Microsoft stuff. To me, Apple is doing the same thing what with Safari, icalc, ical, address book, etc. Now that I've said my piece, I will get off my soapbox. After I upgraded to Panther I discovered I couldn't sync my Handspring Visor with the palm desktop software, I downloaded a newer version of palmdesktop, installed it and everything is ok. I don't know if the older version would have worked or not. I can't answer any of your other questions.

Alex, you made my day. Somebody had told me Panther could not do these printouts I so very much desired. This changes everything! In order not to have to change conduits, i had my PB set for just the hot-synching with Palm, Now I at least can do the i-sync bit and be done. With the calendar I have helped myself just printing out each month from my i-Cal. I guess my constant chirping to Apple about the addressbook helped. With my .mac account the synchronization with my two palms and the two computers work wonderfully well with everything anyhow. It was only a pain in the - to do the hot-synching into the palm addressbook. I would have to disengage that Apple addressbook conduit and put the palm one into the enabled conduits. That's why i finally just used the PB for the palm addressbook synchs and left the palm unit out of the i-synch window in that computer. My needs are not complex, either, but one somehow needs certain things and hopes they can be accomplished with a particular program. Now I shall just have to find a calm time to install Panther.
