I have been using Avantgo for off-line channel viewing and Isilo for just about everything else. My goal now is to hopefully consolidate everything into Plucker. So my question is - does anyone know of any conversion tools or simple methods (I'm not a programmer) to convert from either of these programs to Plucker? One Avantgo channel in particular would be Yahoo. Any input would be appreciated.

Some sites or channels on Avantgo can't be accessed outside of the Avantgo program. Even if you know the url to the Avantgo page, it will be denied access. Yahoo is one of them. If you have already set up a My Yahoo account, just use Sunrise to pluck the password protected site. If your My Yahoo page is way too big, you can always create a special smaller page of the features you want on it in your My Yahoo. Just add a new page and add the features you want to have plucked. Then, use the url to that page to be plucked. I have done this on my My Yahoo page since my main page has way too much stuff and so, when I pluck the My Yahoo page, I pluck the special page. In my case it's 'http://my.yahoo.com/p/2.html'
I personally have not used iSilo and don't know of any conversion program to convert them to Plucker. Maybe someone can provide an answer to that.
I find that Sunrise is probably the best plucker type program out there and I have stopped using Avantgo and Plucker Desktop and just now use Sunrise exclusively for all website page retrievals.
If you're interested in learning how to use Sunrise, check out my posting on a mini step through of it.
