Anne,
I don't have a subscription, either. I just read it each day and save 
off stuff I might need later, but I didn't save any of the Palm 
articles.
I do think that you can go from 2.6 to 4.x without any problem. 2.6 
runs in Classic if I remember right. You should probably delete all the 
2.6 components before you install version 4 (yes, if you save your user 
data, you'll be ok). Version 4.0 and 4.1 run native in OS X. My wife 
and I both use 4.0 with our Sony Clie' and Handspring Visor Edge and 
they sync quite nicely. Try going to 4.x on the G4 and see if it solves 
your problem.
Sorry I couldn't be more help.
Mel
