Does anyone sync with more than one PC? I sync at home for outlook and files, but would also like to sync at work for the same. I can sync with one main computer very easily. Trying to do two computers seems to be a problem, having to do reboots, clear sync info, and similiar....less than easy. I have c860 of course and using the cacko \"elaina\" rom (nice). I am syncing to a w2k machine at home (no problem) or a windows 98 machine at work....thanks...Steve

I syn with the Qtopia Desktop at home and sync with intellisync at work.
The intellisync options are:
calendar: outlook
addressbook: palm desktop
todo: palm desktop
memo: palm desktop
I only use outlook at work, and only pull down the calendar data. I don\'t want to flood the Zaurus with with the tons of email and their attachments.
I previously used a palm pda (my sl-6000 is new), and this was how I got all my palm pim data over to the Zaurus.
I\'m still working out the nuances of duplicating entries, and the field mapping, but I think (hope) that I\'ll enventually work out the bugs.

JD: I am wondering if Qtopia Desktop (on a PC) doesn\'t work with the c860 series. I read another post somewhere else here where some one was suggesting using the software for the 5600 but it doesn\'t recognize the c860. The software like says it is the 5500 software, but once opened up it shows the 5600?? I even tried the software which came with the c860 and it does the same thing (Qtopia desktop)...doesn\'t recognize the machine. Strange to me. Intellisync works fine to Outlook etc....thanks for the reply though...Steve

My version of Qtopia Desktop is 1.5.6 and seems specific to the 6000.
When installing, note that you can only install one option to sync to (intellisync or Qtopia Desktop). If you install both (I tried it) and start a sync, it will complain that both are installed, and it will default to intellisync.
When I was syncing my palmos to both computers, I chose to keep each data source seperate, i.e. only sync calendar at work, only sync the other pim apps at home but not calendar. The exception was avantgo which seemed to work fine on both computers.
Good luck.
