PDA conundrum

Ah, thought outlook was the more the issue.

First of all...do you already have two Palm OS units?

I'm trying to figure out here why you can't just have a single profile name in common in the sync software on both users' computers. Then, using Chapura, you can force that profile to sync *only* the calendar data. Then just sync both PDAs to both computers.

I believe you can save a given Chapura sync setup so that you could then select a second sync setup and sync just your own data, with the calendar not doing anything.

I could be wrong...

I just got one of these:

I'm surprised by how much I like it. Big beautiful screen, long battery life, reletively fast (for Windows CE). And dirt cheap. Kinda hard to find software, but the stuff I've found works well. I got NetHack, Gnuplot, and a book reader on there now. MS's dev kit is free. Haven't found a Palm emulator yet, or a good free Gameboy emulator.

I think it might even do what you need. ActiveSync (you'll need the latest from MS) creates a named "partnership" with each PDA you plug in. So I know one desktop can track two PDAs, but I don't know how well it works. Guy I work with is getting one too, so I might be convinced to try it.
