Anybody know how to use Docs to Go on a Palm? I thought I just had to put some Word Docs into the Palm installer, but that didn't work.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

No -- you should have a Documents To Go icon on your desktop, and you use that interface to make a copy for your Palm, which'll happen when you next sync.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
There should be both a Docs to Go on your PDA and on your desktop. You add documents to the desktop thingy, and then when it syncs, they go to your Palm.

Wolfram, I think you have to use the Docs to Go application, not the Palm installer, for those.
Hee, cross-posty.

Thanks for the tips. Now where do I find that desktop program? My docs to go came pre-installed on the Palm, and it doesn't seem to be part of Palm Desktop.

Did the Palm come with a CD of apps to install?

Yes it did. And I promptly left that CD somewhere in my pile of installation CDs, Manuals, Drivers, Warranty Cards, and useless boxes that I can't bring myself to throw away. So I went the lazy man route and downloaded Palm Desktop from the website.
Sigh. It sound like I'm going to have to dig out that old CD that came with the Palm, aren't I?

Anyone ever used Skype?
It looks like a good long distance rate, definitely. But you're paying that same price for local calls. Maybe to just use it for LD?
