    I think my only real option is wait until I'll have the ability to sync the dang thing once I get a Linux laptop. I just wonder if there's a linux compatible version of Documents to Go or if I'll have to use Wine (which--on an unrelated note--can support my Windows XP/98 era
    programs).

    There were Linux versions of the Palm software. But it's been soooo long since I've use them that I don't remember the names anymore. I will guess that the are long unsupported now.

    jPilot? That one is what I've decided on. It's the Linux equivalent of Palm Desktop, if I recall. Windows 11 is a nightmare and a friend is having trouble even getting his IIIXE to run in Win 11... He got it working through a Win XP vm. I refuse to take off Core Isolation, which assumedly is the cause of my problems. I'm still not very tech-smart (yet) and everyone I know tells me it's probably a bad idea (and reading WHAT it is convinces me of such as well).
