Yikes.   Sorry to hear that.  =:/

Eww.  Don't go the Windows-device route!!!  I tried it and will never do so 
again.

Cool.  I still miss my NX70V.  =:/

Hmm.  Yes, kpilot does use a different directory for your username (look in 
~/.kde/share/apps/kpilot/conduits/).  However, I don't know how kpilot would 
handle trying to keep two devices in sync with the kontact data.  Might work.  
Might cause your cat to go bald.

Are you intending to a switch-over and then only sync with the one device?  If 
that's the case, I'd do a one-time CopyPCtoHH and then from then on you 
should be good.
