The CD-Rom that comes with the Sony Clie is loaded onto your primary
computer (I loaded my onto my business laptop rather than my home
computer because I use my Clie mostly for business purposes). If you
want Documents-to-Go, you can load that software onto your computer,
also. When you first load up your Clie, (HotSync), you can then tell it
what programs/documents to load with another hotsync. As you use the
Clie to update data, each time you hotsync you will update the files on
your computer. You could then archive them to a CD or some other device
if you desire. You can also update a file on the computer and the next
time you hotsync, you will update the file on the Clie. It is pretty
much the same as the palm pilot system but as you know, the Clie has a
large mamory and also accepts a large memory stick for additional
storage. But since your computer probably has much more HD space, it
will be the backup for your Clie. Every Clie comes with a power cable
and hotsync cable so you just have to read the manual, load the software
on your computer and go for it.
