OO Palm users

Howdy all! (Sorry, this is a bit long.)

I believe it wasn't that long ago that the topic of using OO with Palms
was discussed. I think it mainly referred to the "Getting Things Done"
tool. (I didn't save all the messages from the list, but in looking back
on those I did save of this topic, that was my impression.)

Anyhow. I just got my very first PDA (Palm Zire 21) a couple of days ago,
which prompted me to write to the OO list. I need help with my lists. I
need to be able to synch back and forth from my Palm to my Mac (Ti 867 OS
X 10.2.8). I can't stand that all my lists are ending up as notes/memos.
I'm really making an effort to be more organized as I get older because
I'm already forgetting a lot - I once was very happy with my excellent
memorization skills. So, there must be other Palm/Mac users who have
found ways to synch lists and outlines with some ease. I've been looking
through the Palm software store all week in anticipation and even more so
after my Palm arrived. I'm hoping others will point me in the direction
of tips, scripts, utilities and your personal experiences.

Also, while this isn't a deal breaker, I would also like something that
will make it simple to beam to the hubby (we both just got our matching
Palms simultaneously) that he can use. I don't mind exporting to memos
and beaming the memos to him since he isn't near as organized as I am and
is so tickled with his Palm that he doesn't want to use his PC (XP) much
at all. (Biting tongue to refrain from anti-PC comment.) Since I've only
just recently gotten him to realize that modern technology can be fun and
helpful, I was surprised that he not only didn't scream and run away when
I gave him his new Palm, but is getting quite attached to it. Truthfully,
I'm not quite as thrilled about my Palm as he is - I'd prefer more RAM,
use of expansion cards, etc., but opted to get this entry level PDA so
we'd both be on the same page to answer his questions, so I'm sure I'll
upgrade within a year. If nothing else more RAM in a PDA will allow me to
use my Filemaker Pro databases.

Thanks!
