Whew.  The 95LX seems to be everything my Casio 7500 isn't, and I'm
already quite happy with what the Casio is.  However, I'm given pause
at one issue.  Apparently, when the product was announced, an HP
rep was asked about Macintosh connectivity.  The response was quite
negative, boardering on insulting (and I should mellow that line with
the statement that I heard this second hand.)

I'm interested in backup, primarily insuring against the loss of the
unit, and the loss of the data.  I always say that I can buy a new
computer/organizer, but the data would be gone for good.

What advice can those in the know offer?  Do I need the PC Connectivity
pack for the cable, even though the software is of no use?  Is Traveling
Software working on something for the Macintosh?  What about the 
storage format, is it some easily parsed ASCII that I could write something
for myself?  Is the PC software compatible with Soft PC?  Should I just 
give up and go with the OZ 8200?

Thanks in advance,
Ric
