I use Serial cradle (my desktop doesn't support USB).

I use USB, works VERY well and it's fairly quick.

I use the USB cradle at work and the serial cradle stays in my laptop bag as an emergence. I took the guts out of the serial cradle so I didn't have to carry around all that plastic.


P.S. I needed to sync and the local store didn't have the portable usb cable.

work: serial on NT
Primary home: serial on NT
sometimes USB on my iMac as an alternate.

Infrequently: USB on iMac while running VirtualPC/Win98 on iMac, as a network sync to my primary PC (the NT machine).

I wish the native Mac Palm Desktop supported network sync, since that would be the quickest way to sync to my NT machine across my 100M home ethernet lan. Unfortunately, the speed gained from the USB access is lost from the emulation speed loss for running Windows on a Mac.

USB At Home, Win2K
USB at Work, Win98

I've always wanted to try Linux as the Base OS. Anybody ever tried doing that?

I use USB on my G4 at work, also syncing to Win 98 on Virtual PC for PC-only software installs (works great!).

Serial on my older Mac at home, and if I am travelling with a laptop.
