[missing-sync-palmos-talk] new G5/T3 sync issue

Migrated user data from old G4 (10.3.9) to a new G5 via Setup Asst, so 
I thought since Missing sync log was still intact, that I wouldn't need 
a "device reset" or "desktop overwrites handheld" on the next sync.  
But of course the new G5 has 10.4.3 and required new version of Missing 
Sync, and in retrospect, I should have done so.

Everything ended up ok, Address Book and Calendars are fine between 
PDA, iMac, and .Mac server, except that my Memo Pad notes on my Palm T3 
are duplicated ( yet Notes still ok as single entries in my M/S Memo 
Pad app).  I tried re-syncing and letting Memo Pad overwrite handheld, 
but it did not fix it.  T3 still has all notes duped.

All my data is backed up left and right, so I'm ok (ext backup drive, 
.Mac account, and still correctly synced via .Mac/iSync to this laptop 
from which I write).  But the Memo Pad app only exists on my iMacG5 
(and duplicate entries now on T3 of course), and I'm thinking the 
safest thing to do is reset my sync database and pick the G5 as the 
overwriting device - for overall fix.  Correct ?

As a safety I was going to make a copy of the Memo Pad database just in 
case - and store it on my desktop.

Any other advice on how I can get my data straight again between:  iMac 
G5, Palm T3, .Mac, and PowerBook G4 (sort of in that order of 
priority).  Pointing me to any specific online info on this is great 
too - as I've found some useful docs, but want to make sure I get the 
details on this so I don't further mess this up.   :-)

[ps - I must admit Tiger's integration of syncing, but with iSync 2.1.1 
still handling some devices, has proven a bit odd and confusing for 
someone who thought they had it licked with iSync app in Panther !]
