Is what free? Pocket Mirror? The standard version of PM that comes on
the original Palm Desktop CD is "free" in that it's included in the price
of the Palm kit, but you cannot download PM for free from Chapura.

The version of Palm Desktop that you can download for free from the
Palm(source?) website doesn't include Pocket mirror. Oh, I already
said that. Email me if this isn't clear and I'll do my best to
explain it. Replace 'tiny.net' with 'visi.com' in my reply-to:
address.

Beg borrow or steal an original Palm Desktop CD and reinstall Palm
Desktop from it. Then go to the Palm website and download the
latest Palm Desktop, which will recognize the previously installed
Pocket Mirror application. Then go to the Chapura website and
download the latest update to the standard edition of Pocket Mirror.
I think that's the sequence, anyway.

I'll try that when the free trial of Pocket Mirror I downloaded last
night runs out. Thanks.

I don't have the original Palm Desktop CD here, I had to download the
version I have installed.

that's exactly what I meant. If I've worked out where someone was
once, and got there, then I can always get there again without knowing
the address.

If you go onto the Palm website and download the latest version (and
tell it that you have a Treo 650 or similar) you should get the latest
version with all the features.

The latest versions of Palm Desktop allow you - it should be a free
download from the Palm website

'Was' the bit - Palm desktop does it itself now. Or at least the one I
got off the Palm website does..

Really? All the evidence pointed towards that not being the case. The
downloaded version I have won't allow me to synch with Outlook.

I have emails going back to when I first used my main (and current)
client. That's September 1997.

Sadly I don't have the very first email I sent/received as it was with
different client and it got lost in a system transfer/re-install.

I have recently started to archive them but as they are all only about
500meg it's not that important as regards size. Consider that when I was
last at work I used to get in excess of 6gb per month!
