I would like to thank Dave for his advice an assistance. Innerbackup
seems to work well.
I'll be sending my Zire 71 off to palm for repair. It has worked
flawlessly up until now and I have found a few articles from people who
have had the same problem. Don't be tempted to purchase one second hand
as I think this fault is ticking away within all the 71s.

I also wanted to thank Mike and James for their advice about
multifunction printers and wireless mice. I bought the canon pixima
MP800 Printer copier scanner. It seems great so far. I have borrowed a
microsoft RF mouse from work to try out and it works a treat. It seems
to work from anywhere in the house. The 6000 looks like it would be
good for my big hands. I intend to purchase one as soon as the right
sale comes along.

Happy new year to all!
Warmest wishes and thanks

Hi
You don't need to waste on the official palm backup card. In fact, the
palm backup card has documented issues with backup of the latest
models.
There are a plethora of SD card backup solutions out there. They
include:
Backup man
<http://www.bitsnbolts.com/backupman.php>
Backupbuddy VFS
<http://www.bluenomad.com/bbvfs/prod_bbvfs_details.html>
Resco Backup
<http://www.resco.net/palm/backup/default.asp>
Botzam backup
<http://www.botzam.com/bzbackup_details.htm>
The above range from USD $10 -30 dollars. There is also a free one
called Innerbackup (sent to you in a separate email). The latter is
nice but can be buggy on some Palm models.

I would spend the money on resco backup or backupbuddy - they are a
lifesaver when you don't have your computer around and your palm
irretrievably crashes.
Because your palm isn't syncing you will need to beam or bluetooth it
to your palm, OR plug the SD card into an SD card reader and put the
.prc file of any of the above programs into the >palm>launcher folder
on your card.
Remember to bookmark
www.palmgear.com
and
www.handango.com
where you'll find 90% of all palm software and most of which have
downloadable demos.
Good luck
Dave
