Meeting Summary
The cornerstone of owning a Palm OS device is the fact that you can sync your device with your computer. Performing a HotSync not only updates your PC and your PDA with the latest data, but it also backs up that information, should something happen to your mobile device.
Unfortunately, not everyone HotSyncs their device for one reason or another. Sometimes that reason is because HotSync isn’t working correctly and causing more harm than good. Luckily, most problems can be easily fixed if you know where to look.
This month NPUG takes a look at “Demystifying The HotSync”. We’ll show you how to identify problems, where to go to find solutions and lastly, how to fix them yourself.
Agenda
1. Welcome & Announcements
After welcoming everyone to the meeting, we give a quick update on what’s new with the user group. This include membership, web site updates, where our geocache bug tracker is, etc.
2. What’s Happening In Palm OS?
Each month we cover everything that’s happened over the past month with Palm OS. We discuss the handhelds, new cool software and what to look for in the future.
3. What’s On Your Palm?
Our very own Fred Heumann asks the question, “What’s On Your Palm?” and shares what are some of the latest, best and sometimes unusual programs for your Palm.

4. Demystifying the HotSync
First we’ll examine how to properly install the HotSync software and then we’ll turn our attention to what happens when things go wrong. The bulk of our focus is going to be on fixing problems, so if you’re currently having one, please bring it to the meeting! :)
