Yes, it definitely should. I tried this before and it worked. Just makes
sure that the device name (or 'user', was it maybe called that...) remains
consistent.

It should never be necessary to shift data that is already on your PDA.

I've done this with my Tungsten T3, and it works fine. I synch at work
and home without issues.

The only issue with syncing to two PC's (I do this regularly, to two
different platforms, Mac and PC, no less!!) is that every time you sync on
the "other" machine, the Hotsync software will sense this and force a "slow
sync" operation, which takes longer than a normal sync.

Take care,

Steve

Caution: whenever synching a palm to a blank desktop program, be sure
that your settings do not reflect "desktop overwrites handheld."
Otherwise, you'll end up with zero data.
