Share what you know. Learn what you don't.

Dear Acunet3278,

I apologize for the first post; for some reason the message didn't get
through.

I have both a Pro and a P3 now so maybe I can offer a worthwhile
opinion.

1. OS3 is supposed to be a better system than OS2. I haven't exactly
   figured out why yet because they both run real well. They both run
   at the same speed. There have been documented fragmentation problems
   with OS2 memory, but I have yet to encounter it. I am not sure why
   some units fragment and others don't; unless it has something to do
   with hacks which I have not been using. Maybe someone else can offer
   an explanation to this. At any rate, if the OS2 fragments, it can be
   easily fixed so I don't view this as a major concern. There are some
   apps that will only run on OS3; but the numbers are not significant
   right now. Perhaps, as the Pros fade into the sunset, this will be
   more of a problem but I don't think so in the foreseeable future.

2. Both units seem to handle battery usage about the same; excellent.
   Assuming you would use either unit the same amount, in my opinion
   battery usage is determined by two factors: the type of batteries,
   and the amount of backlighting you use. In my usage with both units,
   battery life has not been a concern.

3. Pros (OS2) do not have infrared capabilities. You can however
   upgrade a Pro and in doing so "turn" it into a P3; memory,OS, and
   beaming included.

I hope this helps, in my view you should get the unit that does what you
need it to do. If you plan on running a lot of apps then the P3, with
extra memory, may be for you. The Pro does all I need it to. I don't use
the beaming feature and the memory is sufficient.

Not to advertise too much here, but if you decide on the P3, I have a
very new one in excellent condition with a case. If interested, please
e-mail

Thank U for Ur comments.
I am primary looking to use the Palm Pilot to sync with all my personal
data on my Yahoo address book & calendar. Add'l i work as asystem Admin
at work and have to keep track of a lot of userid & passwd logininfo.

Could you also be kind enough 2 share Ur experience w/ me/ Are U aware
of a passwd program for the Palm that syncs up with a desktop PC?

Where is there more info on the net about upgrading a Pro to a P3?

Plz advise. Thank U.

The upgrade can be a good option - I was able to purchase a Pro and an
upgrade together for less than a III.
