Can anyone give me any tips in preparing for this eventuality? I don't even know whether I should sync from the PC side or the Mac Side preferably. I guess if Syncing on the Mac side,,there might be a preferable program? Or is it all better handled better on the PC side. And syncing from the PC side not be as good as syncing from a pure PC system. Any comments, good or bad would be great. Thanks

for syncing with mac there's missing sync but i would just get an exchange account, then you can sync data with the exchange over wifi/3g.

for the pc side i would stick with xp.....easier and less problematic for flashing compare to vista, although ppl have done it successfully with vista, and ppl have also been unsuccessful with xp. but if you dont want to even bother with windows, you can just flash through your microsd card

Amongst other things, I have BBconnect that I have been using with my XP,Would I be able to keep using BBconnect on Office Mac, or just keep using as you said my whole PPC operation on XP and Microsoft office?

There's also Syncmate.. it seems to work for contacts/appts.. that's all I use it for (the beta and free edition). It supports much more sync functionality in the paid version.
