Sort of. Palm Desktop 2.1 and later _is_ Claris Organizer, rebadged.
I've done it, from Newton TO Palm Desktop, but you'll really need to
"dumb down" your Newton data to match the capabilities (limitations, I
mean) of Palm Desktop.
I'd recommend exporting in Claris Organizer format them "merging" into
Palm Desktop and examining the data to see what I mean. Depending on how
you use your Newton's features, you may have to do a little or a LOT of
cleanup of your data. (I fell in the "lot" category).
If you want to go from Newton to Palm Desktop to Palm it may get even
worse as I think Palm Desktop can do a few things the Palm itself can't.
Check the NewtonTalk message archives on Victor Rehorst's Newton
Resources site and search for "Claris Organizer" or "Palm Desktop" for
some conversations and tips that have gone on here in the past. I've
contributed to some of them.
