In view of the fact that the Sony Clie was made by means of PalmOS, acquire yourself a copy of Palm Desktop commencing from palm.com, sync up, and then export it into incredible workable if probable, go for iCal. Even superior, I suggest a piece of software called Jpilot, if you be able to acquire it - it's an open source Palm sync program with the intention of was developed for Linux. There might be a Windows or Macintosh version or descriptions obtainable, other than the website come into view to be down for the moment. Moreover way, Jpilot determine to save in iCal format. If you have comprised to do CSV, then iCalendar is your friend for import, as CSV sustain or maintain on Google seems to be broken.
