Some of y'all may recall that two and a half years ago I bought a PDA....a Palm Zire 31. It's given me great service and has been a valuable tool, but its battery has finally begun to bite the dust.
Apparently it'd cost a fair chunk o' bucks to send it in to have the battery replaced (min. of $65, IIRC), so I went ahead and bought the newest edition, the Palm z22. Got it from Amazon for $92 with no tax and free shipping. ;^)
Tell you what's cool, and that's this beaming business! If only cell phones did that, by golly. All those contacts? My databases? Just beamed 'em from the Zire 31 to the z22.
What I don't know, and haven't been able to find out so far, is whether or not I can get the various programs I purchased and are sitting on the computer in the dining room onto my new device.

Thanks for the input! If I buy one, maybe I can download your address book, and just delete the one's I don't need! I still use an old address book that has babysitter's names in it!
There's one on eBay currently going begging: http://cgi.ebay.com/Palm-Pilot-Z22-PDA-Barely-Used-ORGANIZE-YOUR-LIFE_W0QQitemZ120102402275QQcategoryZ38331QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
The seller somehow got it listed under "cases and pouches", so those looking under the actual PDA's won't find it.
Yes, I could easily beam my contacts to you, so you needn't enter them one by one.
Well, I don't know if it will work, but can't you just sync it to the dining room computer, and then sync it again to wherever you have installed the software that came with the new device?
I've got the software for the z22 installed on the laptop, but maybe if I go ahead and install it and sync from the dining room computer, it'll work.
Assuming I can locate those programs, of course! =8^o
