The Palm
™
Desktop software you install on your computer includes the same main
applications as your Palm III

organizer: Address Book, Date Book, To Do List, Memo
Pad, Expense, and desktop e-mail connectivity. You can use the HotSync
®
Manager
feature of this software to back up and exchange data between your organizer and

Palm Desktop software, you still need to complete the following process

other organizer software.

install in their user’s account, not the administrator account.
