Is there a checklist of what to do to keep all drivers and so forth, 
how to archive, etc.?
Especially, how to ensure mail, bookmarks, Palm user files, drivers, 
etc. can be kept
and returned?

My Missing Manual says clean install on OSX not necessary? Can you 
elaborate?

Do any of the manuals have a comprehensive list on what to do. I need 
Step-by-Step.

Also, I'm on dialup and have had no success getting uncorrupted files. 
Is there any other
way? (Other than letting my brother d/l on Windows and mailing me a CD).

In light of the security update, maybe I have to.

Could I choose to just update? Will I lose anything if I do it? As I 
recall, going from
OS 10.1 to 10.2 was pretty effortless, but then I didn't do a clean 
install there.

Also don't want to eliminate my scanner, which I notice has no OSX 
driver, the lastest
one they have is for 9. I use it through Classic.
