So I had to re-import with a value of 3650 days (10 years): I still didn't get ALL the calendar entries I had on my Palm, but I have the most important stuff and can still use the Palm and Palm Desktop to find anything older than 10 years. ![]() The value of having so much calendar data on hand is to look back for long-ago events. Instead of offering a choice for "all", the default value was something like 30 days or 3 months (I can't remember now). The fact that I had to specify a number of days of data to import. Don't buy this product for stability or reliability, you'll be sorely disappointed. Also, the ability to quickly sync (WiFi) to my local computer instead of the cloud. This product, composed of CompanionLink (Build 7012, on Windows and Android) and the required DejaOffice (v3.2.25) on the Android, is a rapidly moving target. DejaOffice PC CRM was able to handle all my native Palm apps with only a couple glitches (solved). I was trying different mainstream ways (Outlook, Google Calendar, etc) to migrate my Palm apps to my phone and was coming up with a mish-mash of solutions. The ability to import my Palm applications so I could transition to a smartphone. Using my Palm handheld had become a bit cumbersome in the sync process (too long a story to recount), so being able to sync the data locally over my Wi-Fi to my desktop computer is exactly what I wanted. Wouldn't let me finish describing my issue(s) before jumping in and unloading a bunch of mumbo-jumbo at me that usually ended with "must be a problem on your end."Īs I mentioned above, I wanted to back up my data locally, not to the cloud. The agent I dealt with (or who dealt with me) was terribly condescending. LET ME ADD - that one big reason I haven't sought help from customer service is how unpleasant my first experiences were trying to go that route. With Deja, it's like having a bad internet connection even when it's only talking to my hard drive! "Dum-de-dum-de-dum." And then when it's done thinking, if I've changed a category, for instance, it's jumped to the new category - which then necessitates my navigating back to where I was, and again, LLLLAAAAGGGGG. and the changes would take place instantly. ![]() It is SO SLOW!!! On my Palm desktop, I could modify tasks, memos, etc. Oh, where do I start? I guess if I could pick one thing, it would be how cumbersome the desktop is to use. But I wish I had time to shop for and switch to something more efficient and easy to learn. It retains most of the data.so that's good. CompanionLink has proven to be a wonderful and helpful resource and certainly makes me feel much more confident in the integrity of the data it saves for me. User-unfriendly as it is, it's what I committed to as a replacement for my old Palm PDA.
