Actually, the Palm OS software is (or was originally) written using Macs! >My next question is, can I use Palm Pilot to HotSync with my iMac >using IrDA? The Palm Pilot has IrDA and the iMac has one too...

Yes, Gary, you can, except that IR syncing is slower than cradle syncing. Also. IIRC, only rev A & B iMacs have IR; Apple deleted the capability on later models. Check Palm's Macintosh support area What Palm OS PDA are you looking at? Palm, HandSpring, Sony, HandEra, the phones from Kyocera or Samsung? Just about all use USB to sync though some can use Bluetooth, either built-in (Palm m550 Tungsten T) or with an expansion card (again, Palm sells a Bluetooth SD card). Sincerely, Dennis (iMac rev.
