Hey everyone,

I have had a visor for a while and use it mainly for addresses, calendar, and AvantGo... I have always just synced with my PeeCee Laptop from work... I bought a sync cable to have at work and was thinking of syncing for the first time (I know, I know.. I've had the Visor for 6 months!) with my Mac...

Is there anything special I need to do to configure it so I can sync on both machines? It would be really nice to sync AvantGo before I walk out the door in the morning on my Mac and then on my PeeCee for the train ride home...

Any thoughts or suggestions?

thanks,
Mike

All you have to do is install the Palm Desktop software [on the cd that came with your visor] on the mac and sync it!

the first time you sync it with the mac it will be slow because it has to load all of the data onto the machine [instead of compare it like on your pc] but after that it should be the same as if you were in your office.

It will be slow every time you synchronize one either computer because now it has to sync every record instead of just the ones that have changed.

That's the only downside to synchronizing with multiple computers. (And some Palm apps only sync with a single computer.)
