Not sure if this has been mentioned/posted yet but if you want I can
send/post instructions (in terminal using the power of unix) on how to get a
file listing what an application will install on your drive and where (only
in OS X obviously) if that would help you with the problem solving. Please
note however that it only works if you haven't installed the program on the
system before (i.e. best after a reinstall) as it simply compares files
before/after and creates a file showing the difference...

Not trying to preach but if you haven't done so yet you might want to make
provisions to backup your system or at least your user files (i.e.
preferences/icons/bookmarks/etc...) as three weeks of (valuable) time must
be more expensive than a CD burner or external hard drive, no?

Please let us know what came of your further testing, I for one am thinking
hard about a palm and would like to know if your issue would affect me as
well and what the workaround would be. BTW, what did Palm say to the issue?

you also wrote in a later post...

Indeed, try sms'ing that to someone quickly on the palm or phone directly :)

Please don't take this as a personal attack but if you put the < and > signs
before and respectively after the link it will not be chopped up in other
peoples email clients regardless of set text length and can be *clicked*
directly...i.e. <http://www.example.com>
