The New iMac DV (the $1K version) comes with all the palm desktop
software preinstalled.  But if you think it would work with my Visor,
you'd be wrong, since it doesn't have a USB driver, nor is there one
anywhere on Handspring's site (It is in the hotsync prefs though -
Handspring/USB is a choice, but every time I press the HotSync button
it asks me if I want to search [but not ultimately] find the driver.
(No, I didn't install any handspring software - NONE of it indicates
it has any USB drivers and I don't want to break what is there).

Sigh.

Then I downloaded the Mac Conduit CDK.  4 or 5 times.  It UnSited, but
that resulted in an icon indicating breakage.  I also tried Lynx on my
linux machine - and did the UnSit there (without error), but the
resulting macbinary wouldn't install.

Double sigh.

So, is the Macintosh a supported platform for Palm and Handspring, or
is this some kind of very unfunny joke?

I just wanted to do two things.  Hotsync my Visor and test Conduit
development (BTW- I have CW v5, and don't know where to find the
antique version that the web page says is supported; it is rather
silly to NOT support any tool to develop I can actually buy).

The iMac worked great - Everything set up easily - except Palm stuff.
