Re: Transferring Shadow to a New Computer

Same question here, I've used Shadow each summer for a couple of months to collect data -- on a Clie (TH55 recently)-- on a wildland fire restoration project that goes back 18 years.

This year, trying to boot Shadow in OSX, it just crashes repeatedly.  (Intel Mini, 10.6.3).  I gather Shadow's 

I had trouble with it on the Clie too -- bought it a second time in fact, never got the second copy to even register  because the checkout software got the Palm user name wrong! Arrgh.

So I've finally loaded an old backup file from my old Powerbook to my Clie.

Do I dare use Shadow in the field for 3 weeks and come home and try to figure out what to do?  I'm baffled, this was just a little item on my big checklist for the job and now it's a time sink.

Is there a reliable way to move from the Clie to some other application that runs under OSX on the Intel Mini, and keep working on the Clie?  Do I need to buy a different handheld and some other app?  

In about 2 weeks, I go to the woods.  I'm afraid I'll be taking paper printouts and a pencil with me this time and have a mess to sort out when I get back.  Rrrrrrgh. Help?
