Phillipe,
My Palm IS my master calendar, and the Palm desktop only is used to copy and paste things between the palm memos and a PC program. I went from a Daytimer to Time Systems (later absorbed into Franklin) to a Palm m505. I can't see the need for a calendar (and a bunch of other computer-related things), if I can't have them with me. And though I use a laptop from time to time, it just doesn't cut it as a place to find an address, or an available time slot in a hurry.
When I worked at a company with a corporate calendar system, I was fortunate enough that my meeting requirements were either repetitive, or light enough that I didn't mind entering them into my Palm. Plus, most of the time I was being invited to a meeting, so I seldom had to enter anything twice.
But if your PC calendar (of whatever flavor) was your master calendar, I could certainly see where some of the enhancements brought by Datebk3/4/5/6 would be a nuisance, and the ease of use enhancements actually wouldn't even be available. It's why for years customers have been badgering CESD to write a desktop version. BTW, birthdays are now in the desktop (though I don't use them).
BobR,
I am also very risk-averse when it comes to my calendar data. But I hadn't been to the Yahoo group in a while, so I came in in the middle of the beta "frenzy". I could see that none of the problems people were having had any effect on data integrity - they were mostly usability or cosmetic issues (mostly in features I didn't use, or in something new, like the "Today" screen). I wiped some of my DateBk preferences once in order to help determine the existence of an issue on a TX, but that was my choice. I've been nothing but happy about the new features and changes.
