Good: the Palm will still charge on its cradle; this buys me time, at least.
Not as good: It's not entirely clear how much I need to do to run Palm Desktop 4.1.4 on Windows 7; what I'm finding online says "compatibility mode," and then Windows 7 offers to test for compatibility. And now I'm worrying about losing data, because the only place I'm sure I have it current is on the handheld. (My first attempts yesterday to get files from the backup I wrote using the Windows XP backup utility achieved nothing.) In the meantime, I have copies the "backup" folder in the Palm folder to "my documents" so I have it in two places. I suspect I shall be spending some time copying a few people's contact information by hand before I chance sync'ing. And I don't want to spend the next few days doing nothing but work, fret about systems stuff, and sleep.
Eudora seems to be working; it's configured to both download mail and leave it on the server, and since Panix is now giving us 500 MB of storage, I'm going to do that for a bit, since this is beta software. Really beta, not Google "we'll call it that for a year and then declare it out of beta without any recent changes."
