![]() ![]() It's been a whole week since I last turned on my Touch and instinctively reached for the upper right corner to take out the stylus.īTW, I felt the same way about dropping the Touch for the first week until I got my iSkin. That decision made my conversion harder, because I couldn't iSync the data in, and I also had to learn about the concept of multiple calendars, instead of one calendar with several categories of appointments.Īfter having a Palm for so many years, some of the habits have been hard to break. So now that I no longer need to sync the Palm, the PC will get virtualized and shut down. I held off on converting the newer PC, primarily because I knew the Palm TX was dying, and I didn't want to gum up the Mac with a short-lived Palm install. In March I bought a new iMac, and quickly converted the oldest PC to a virtual machine under Fusion (where it has lived, unbooted, since its tests were complete). I'm in no hurry (meaning many of the "B"s were really "C"s). I'm gradually going through the "B list" of programs I had on the TX (there were over 100 that I grouped from "A" (those above) to "D" (don't replace)). I had been planning an escape route for months, knowing that this TX, like the one before it, had a limited life. I'd still be on the TX if the digitizer hadn't failed and the glass replacement hadn't made things worse. Cut and paste was faster than trying to find an automated solution (unlikely since it's only been 5 days since anyone would even consider sending Memos to Notes).īottom line? I'm really happy with the change. I had only 38 memos that weren't Palm-related (therefore not to be transferred). After getting the Notes sync to work (requiring reboots of the Mac and the Touch), I took the easy way out and copied and pasted the text export of my Palm memos into the Mac Mail Notes (Hint: Change the Mail Preferences first to a preferred font for Notes - that way you can read them). I held off on Memos until I upgraded to 3.0 two evenings ago. Contacts transferred easily (another Google search) to the Mac Address Book, and from there synced to the Touch. ToDos (Tasks) went to (instructions there), syncing to Appigo Todo on my Touch. I loaded iCal from the Palm Desktop on the PC using instructions found via Google (and a whole lot of experimentation). I copied the desktop file from the PC I synced the Palm to, installed the free cross-grade of the Mac desktop program, then had to buy the iPhone program. ![]() I downloaded the free Olive Tree BibleReader, and all my previous purchases for the Palm were waiting for me in my library (part of the program). ![]() The big three were the PIM functions, password safe, and my Bible.Įasy ones first. Tomorrow marks one month since retiring my barely-limping-along Palm TX and replacing it with a Touch. ![]()
