Migrating from Palm Vx?

[softech]

Picking my Th55 today ... (so excited.. i originally want to wait until a price cut. but look like there will not be one soon.. )

I have been using Palm Vx... Of course I have installed Palm desktop on my machine.. if I install the new Clie software on the same machine.. would they automatically help me to migrate my stuff from Palm Vx? I have read the Getting Start manual and Handbook.. doesn't see anything about migrating from another Palm.

Thanks

Sorry, no automatic migration, but there is help.

- copy your backup folder to a save place and then delete the old desktop software.
- install the new PalmDesktop for Clie.
- HotSync and when asked for the username, enter the same as you used for the Vx (saves you from asking for new regcodes for your apps)
- copy the address, todo, memo and databook files from the backup (first step) to the new desktop software
- set "Desktop overwrites Handheld" in Hotsync Manager
- hotsync again
- install all apps and their databases from the backup (first step)

Please note that almost all Hacks can't run under OS 5!

Hope this helps
