[missing-sync-palmos-talk] Questions about MS 5.0

I've been a non-Palm user for a couple of years now, mostly because I  
cannot adequately put info onto my Palm. The lack of categories made  
my (1,000+ record) address book and task list completely unmanageable.

Well, looks like Mark/Space has finally made some decent conduits for  
Apple's apps in OS X! Hooray!

I have a few questions about how these things work before I plunk  
down a hard-earned $25 for the upgrade.

Address book categories: How do you deal with a contact that exists  
in multiple categories? Which wins?

iCal Calendars/Categories: Do event categories in Agendus get sync'd  
to appropriate calendars in iCal?

Alternate task conduit: If I want to use a program OTHER than iCal  
for tasks (e.g. use Palm Desktop for tasks but iCal for calendars)  
can I do so using the new program? Under the old conduits, iCal was  
an all or nothing option, I couldn't just use part of it.

What about subscribed iCal calendars? Do they sync normally?

File/folder sync: Does this sync up to the memory card when I sync my  
Clie, or will I have to mount the memory card and then invoke  
something else to get my MP3s, photos and other docs across to the Palm?

Lastly, if I purchase the upgrade and am less than satisfied, can I  
get a refund? Alternately, is there an option to demo the v5 upgrade  
and test it out a bit before I purchase?

Thanks!
