The Palm desktop software I am currently using on Mac is v. 4.2.1. This is also the latest version on the Palm web site, so I think I am OK there. A little worried about Alli's statement that the conduits may be different for the 700.
I see that the user name in the desktop software is defined as "abc," which is the name currently in my 650. So, if I do a hotsync, the Mac and Palm desktop software inserts that name into the 700?
