pilot-link has trashed my data twice. (I believe kpilot is built upon 
pilot-link.) I wouldn't use it again. I had to restore from my copy on 
Windows back onto my Palm. If I never used Windows, or if I switched 
entirely from Windows to Linux, I would have lost several years of data. 
That would have been a disaster.

My conclusion is that a Palm is no good if all you have on your desktop 
is Linux.

I expect that happy pilot-link users will pipe up now, to counter my 
argument. After all, I'm just one datum.
