i just bought a new mini mac with osX

on my pc, i use palmpilot III software to organize my address book and
calendar. (the palm PDA itself is long dead)

i would like to import these files into  mac mini 0sX. the mac has
native, iCalendar and AddressBook applications that i would like to take
advantage of.

since all that is involved is a fairly simple database, i imagine this
cannot be too difficult.

although mac apps seem to require vCard or ldpf files for importing. 
palm pilot III pc software does not export these.

How can i go about doing this? step by step!

thank you in advance.

The OS X Address Book is able to import "CSV" text files, which I
believe Palm Desktop can export.

The calendar will be more difficult without using a PDA for the
transfer.  .ics and vCal files are straightforward text formats, so an
enterprising geek could likely script a translator for you, from
whatever Palm is able to export.
