Palm Desktop organizer software

Palm Desktop software extends many of the functions of your Palm V
organizer to your computer and serves to back up all your data.
Viewing and editing your data using Palm Desktop software is
optional. However, when you use it with your Palm V organizer and
the built-in HotSync technology, you can fully synchronize the
information on your Palm V organizer with the information on your
computer.
It is a good idea to back up your data in case something happens to the
data on your Palm V organizer. Changes you make on your Palm V
organizer or Palm Desktop software appear in both places after you
synchronize.
With Palm Desktop software, you can do the following:
Work with your Palm V organizer applications on your computer.
Palm Desktop software duplicates the Date Book, Address Book,
To Do List, and Memo Pad applications on your organizer, so you
can view, enter, and modify any data stored on your organizer.
Back up the data stored on your organizer with HotSync
technology and synchronize the data on your Palm Desktop
software. Synchronization is a one-step procedure that ensures
your data is always safe and up-to-date. See "Exchanging and
updating data: HotSync operations" in Chapter 4 for more
information.
Import and export data, so you can easily transfer data from other
desktop applications into any of your main applications. See
"Importing data" in Chapter 2 for more information.
Print your Date Book, Address Book, To Do List, and Memo Pad
information on any printer.
