One PDA and two computers

[Unregistered]

I'm sorry if this is dullness personified but...

I have one PDA (NX70v) and two computers (home and office both with Windows XP) and currently my PDA is only set up on my office computer. Naturally I want to be able to use it with my home computer. Are there any issues that I should be aware of before setting up my home computer? (Hotsyncing confusion for example)

Yes...one of these devices needs to overwrite the others (you can set this up in your Hot Sync program. So a senario would be
Office Computer: Overwrite Palm
CLIE: Overwrites Home Computer
Or you have the option to "do nothing" on the sync on most programs (again setting s available through Hot Sync. To get to this area rightclick on the Hot Sync icon in your taskbar and left click on custom...pretty easy after that. If you are uncertain on how to do this backup your Microsoft Outlook and your PAlm before you start. (If you sync with MS Outlook that is)

Well, that scenario that you describe is if you have a lot of changes everytime you sync you palm, if you change some spare things everythime, there should be no problem, because your palm is sinchronizing the register that have changes, and if you sync it everytime you sit in front of the computer and thats often, you havent made changes to the same register in the 3 devices at once.
