In principle, I understand that (please correct me if there are misconcep-
tions) you want to have PIM data synchronised among the desktop and the
two PDA's. You also want to be able to take advantage of large storage ca-
pacity on the LifeDrive without 'choking' the Tungsten T. This is chal-
lenging.
Possible solution: when installing files or software, the files 'pop' off
the installation stack. This means that if you install something, make
sure it is the LifeDrive that's subsequently synchronised. As for keeping
PIM data in sync., make sure you synchronise often enough to ensure no
conflicts among the two PDA's arise. This can turn out to be difficult de-
pending on what data you synchronise, the amount of data, and the frequen-
cy of synchronisations.
Hope it helps,
Roy
