I have a palm IIIse and the display died. Will I be able to import the
data from my IIIse into a new palm???? Or will I have to enter each
name, address and phone number.

Assuming you were hotsynching it regularly to your computer, you
should be able to just synch a new Palm to your old Palm's username
and it will import your data all by itself. The one caveat to this
would be that any third party applications that your old Palm had may
or may not work with a new Palm. So it's usually a good idea to rename
your Palm's back up directory (it's usually underneath the Palm
Desktop directory and has a name which resembles your Palm's username
and reinstall any third party apps separately.

Thanks, I was asking because I can't get a palm IIIse and didn't know
if the newer palm's would allow you to import the older palms
database..
