Palm Desktop
If you’re still tracking your calendar and Contacts on an ancient PalmPilot—which you store lovingly next to your gramophone and kerosene lamp—you should have no problem. You can sync your palmtop with the Mac version of Palm Desktop that still lurks at www.palm.com. (Getting your data from there to something more modern is another challenge, but not insurmountable. Google can help you.)
If your concern is syncing a non-Apple smartphone with your Mac (Treo, BlackBerry, whatever), you can buy a utility program called The Missing Sync at www.markspace.com that does precisely that.
