    but I have just about everything that I use on my PC on my palm (like word, excel, AIM, Yahoo Messenger, Cachemate, ect...) so is there extreme benifit to having one over the other?

    I don't think so. The PPC is more campatible with Windows based PCs, since it is Windows after all. And PPCs can multitask, a feature that has just come to the Palms (That's why you can listen to MP3s and still play a game on the TX). Palms are tried and true and generally dependable from what I have heard.

    Basically, Brad said it all - Mac Vs PC, Cruella vs. *insert name of ex wife here*, Coke vs Pepsi... Well, wait. we know Moxie wins that hands down.

    Thanks
    I use GPX Sonar - you can find a link on the GC.com website. I knew that Cachemate came out with a PPC program but haven't made the switch.

    As presented, there is a platform difference between the two. But the biggest difference that I have seen related to geocaching is that there are far fewer PPC users than Palm so your pool of resources is far more limited. I have an iPAQ and though I have figured it out, I would definitely buy a Palm - probably a Zire model - if I bought one now.

    A lot of the discussion/instruction that has been presented on this website has been specific for the Palm platform and is not applicable on the PPC.

    hehehe thank you, I'll check into the cachemate to see more what it does. I was told by the associate at stapples that the current palms have office on them, but the new ones won't and they will be continuing the support and upgrades for them, but the hp has it and will still have it and upgrades when available.

    Not knowing that Cachemate had a PPC version out, for the heck of it I went and downloaded it to my PPC (yes Windows platform) just to see what all the hoo-rah was about.

    I seem to have loaded it properly on my PPC and it shows up in my program listings but when I open it up it has no pocket query database loaded into it? Do I have to pay for it and register it before it will work? I wasn’t planning on buying it yet…

    I have always used GPXSonar and my Pocket queries files automatically get uploaded in GPX Sonar when I turn it on.

    How do I upload the caches page pocket queries into this CacheMate program?
    Do I have to specify CacheMate as the default cache page reader? I can’t find anything anywhere to help me.

    I’d like to be able to go back and forth between applications to compare the two to see if I prefer one over the other.

    Can anyone who has a (windows platform) PPC and uses both GPXSonar and Cachemate offer me any suggestions?
    Its probably something very simple that I am overlooking.

    I use GSAK to manage all my caches, and you can create a file using GSAK to download to your unit for cachemate. www.gsak.net

    I can't afford to buy a palm, so i'll have to use my ipaq which i actually love so if I just have to download and make an acrobat reader file with no clues or word page with clues, then that's ok, but i am curious about the different programs. I guess I'm looking for something that will download everything at once along with whether I found it or not. Hopin for a lot i guess.

    Yes and so do I. But I already have the pocket queries saved as .gpx files in my synchronization folder. That’s what GPXSonar automatically opens when I turn it on. I should be able to open Cachemate and upload these files….that are already in my synchronization folder.

    According to GSAK Cachemate (PPC version) should be able to read this type file (.gpx) All my pocket queries are gpx files.

    They just don’t seem to show up in my Cachemate application when I turn it on…that’s where the problem is…

    Maybe I can’t have both GPXSonar and Cachemate programs loaded on my PPC and it automatically defaults to GPXSonar? I don’t get it…
