Hi Bill! Do you keep your lucky rabbit's foot around when you do that? It's not so much the scary 3rd party apps that scare me, although they do, but, rather, the scary registry and desktop incompatibilities between versions of the Desktop that give me the willies!!
To each his own!! Me, I clean house each time. Again, though, Outlook makes this easy. I might reconsider if were using the Palm Desktop. Cheers, Don _____ From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Bill Gamble Sent: Monday, April 17, 2006 2:53 PM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [Treo] T600 to T650 Don't be frightened, Don! That's how I've always upgraded - I'm using the same user name I started with back on the Palm V (7 or 8 models later). If the backup directory is renamed, none of those scary old 3rd party apps will be installed during the first hotsync. ______ Bill ...... Original Message .......
