Palm/PC sync

[owen j. greyling]

Hi terry,
I purchased a Palm IIIxe about a year ago, and had my brother set up my
programs.  He did most of it from his office, over the internet, and with my
back-up disc from my computer. He has, over the years, set up my entire
system, and I'm greatly indebted to him. It pays to have somebody who knows
what they are doing with computers.
Anyway, after he got it all set up, it wouldn't work. I discovered that the
palm needed to be held with a little pressure, down and to the left, into
the cradle as I start the hotsync process.  I do it this way everyday, works
fine.  Hope this is your problem to.

Regards,
Owen.
