Palm support

[Nevin Steindam]

I just got a Palm Pilot, and need to install the Hot Sync software in
either my OS X Mac or my 8.6 Mac.  Which should I do?

I plan on becoming dependent on the information in my Palm before long, so
I'd like the synching to be as easy and reliable as possible.  Is the Palm
software's OS X support good enough for me to use without worrying?  I
think I remember rumors about fights between Apple and Palm in the recent
past, so I don't know if I should trust the two companies' newest software
to be working perfectly.

(Also, I know that iSync offers X support for Palms, but my understanding
is that it just works on top of the Palm software that you have to install
anyway.  Since I tend to be disappointed with the "i" programs, I don't
plan on using that unless someone offers a compelling reason that I don't
know about.)

Thanks,
Nevin
