Not sure if this counts as "connected" but I used Palm Desktop itself for my personal scheduling. I never used my Palms (an m505 and a Zire 72) for E-mail, though. It did mostly note-taking, calendar and pharmacy work, and some programming (in Plua). -- ------------------------------------ personal: http://www.cameronkaiser.com/ -- Cameron Kaiser * Floodgap Systems * www.floodgap.com * ckai...@floodgap.com -- If elected, I will win. -- Pat Paulsen for President -----------------------
