Since your Palm is now dead you will have to use a program like PocketCopy
(http://www.geekzone.co.nz/content.asp?contentid=2965)

If you use the discount code AB1DFD6 until 31 December you get 15% discount
(any software, one use only per buyer).

You likely got a copy of Chapura Pocket Mirror with your Palm when you
bought it. It was likely on the CD with Palm Desktop and Hotsync. That sets
up a Palm to Outlook conduit. You can load Mirror and sync all your Palm
data to Outlook. Then it is just a matter of setting up the PPC normally.
The issue above is when the Palm unit has died and you only have the data in
Palm desktop.

How did you sync Yahoo with your Palm Desktop? I knew it synced
directly with Palm Pilots, but not with Palm Desktop ... or did you use
a two-step process?

I've found Yahoo's Intellsync to be pretty buggy. One example; I added
a set of records to Yahoo address book, did a sync, and it added them
to my Palm Pilot ...then upon next sync, it added them back into Yahoo,
so I have two copies of each record. Another example; I deleted a set
of records from my Palm Pilot (a different set than in the first
example), and after syncing, found that instead of deleting them from
Yahoo, it readded them from Yahoo back into my Palm Pilot. Blaugh.
