My Filofax migrated to Lotus Organizer onto the PC in the early 90's. It
had a print option to Filofax-sized pages so that was my one-way sync!
I bought an hp95lx which I upgraded to an hp200lx during '97. That was my
favorite of all PDAs - it ran DOS 3.3, had Lotus 1-2-3, had a RS232 port
which I connected to a GPS for moving map display just like James Bond. And
a mailing list almost as friendly as this one!
And It had a PCMCIA socket into which I had a 1MB SRAM card (with lithium
coin cell). Later to get a CF adaptor and a whopping 15MB flash. (Couldn't
afford 16MB, I think 15 were the 2nd grade drop-out chips, but it still cost
me $70!) yes, MB not GB.
Lack of backlight and other things I forget drove me to Palm Tungsten in
about 2000 which is still running, but I'm about to move it all to my new
phone (Nokia5800 running Symbian).
I routinely (daily) sync that Palm to Outlook 2003 (Calendar, Contacts,
ToDo, Notes) using CHAPURA POCKET MIRROR and I don't use Palm Desktop any
more.
good luck
