Sounds like you're talking more about a WebDAV/DotMac-type sync. This 
would probably work. Just pick one machine for each Palm (and stick 
with that scenario if possible), sync each Mac to a WebDAV server or 
DotMac account and that should bring each Mac up-to-date. Then each 
Palm should sync to the same data and both would be current. Taking 
that info to a Windows machine might be a challenge, but I'll bet it's 
not impossible. In fact, the Palm might be the "hub." Sync the Macs 
together, sync to the Palm, then take the Palm to the Windows box. This 
might be a little verbose, not be entirely intuitive, and have lots of 
points of failure. I'd try it though. I'm a glutton for punishment. Of 
course you should have a good tested backup with an also-tested restore 
path.
