[G4] Palm OS 4.1

[John Wilson]

Hi Anne. I only had to upgrade from Palm OS 3.5 to 4.1. Can't remember 
exactly how I did this but I do remember it worked the first time. I 
found, however, that trying to use iSync and iCal with Palm OS on Mac 
OS X caused a world of trouble--double entries, lost data, etc. Much 
easier to just use Palm Desktop and the HotSync button on the PDA. John
