When you synchronize between a Newton and any Mac, afterwards they have the
same data. So if you synchronized with a desktop Mac, then with a
PowerBook, then with the desktop Mac, all three machines would have all of
the same information in them. Of course, if you hadn't edited the data on
both Mac's, you could just synch once and then copy the folder containing
all of the data to the other machine.

Dunno, just that Apple said that it'd be able to exchange data with all of
the major scheduling and address book packages. Since most of such
packages can export and/or import each other's formats, the less-well known
packages ought to still be supported.
