Best not to talk to salesmen!
I don't use a mac, but did upgrade from a Vx to a TE. You'll want the new
desktop software because it uses the new Palm OS5 features, like photos,
multiple addresses per contact etc. The way I did it was to export archive
files from each of the four palm applications, making sure to export all
records, not just the currently selected one! Copy the whole palm folder as
well for safety. Then install the new software as if it were your first
palm, and then import the archive files you made and your new data will be
in place.
I recommend www.brighthand.com for extra advice regarding software, conduits
etc!
