      <title>Setting up your synchronization system</title> 
      <para>
         Synchronization presents you with two issues you'll need to
-        deal with.  The first one is pretty simple: you'll need to get
-        the data to move among the various devices you're using.  If
-        you've already got <application>Gnome-Pilot</application>
-        working, then all you have to do is tell it to use the
-        <application>Evolution</application>
-        <glossterm>conduit</glossterm>.  If you haven't used
-        <application>Gnome-Pilot</application> before, you'll need to
-        run the GNOME <application>Control Center</application> and go
-        through the hand-held device setup assistant.  Then you can
-        select the Evolution conduit and press the hotsync button.
+        deal with. 
+        <simplelist>
+          <member>
+            Your computer needs to recognize and access your handheld.
+            At this time, <application>Evolution</application> only
+            supports Palm-OS devices like the PalmPilot and the
+            Handspring Visor.
+          </member>
+          <member>
+           You should decide what sort of synchronization behavior you
+           want.

+    <para>
+       If you haven't used a handheld device with your computer
+       before, you'll need to run the GNOME <application>Control
+       Center</application> and make sure that <application>Pilot
+       Link</application> is properly configured. Then, select the
+       <application>Evolution</application> conduits under the
+       <guilabel>Pilot Conduits</guilabel> section of the Control
+       Center.
       </para>
-      <para>
-        If that doesn't work, jump up and down several times and swear
-        loudly.  Then make sure you've got
-        <application>Gnome-Pilot</application> going to the right
-        device (for my serial port, it's /dev/ttys0, not the default
-        /dev/pilot) and that you have read and write permission on
-        that device.  If you don't, you'll need to be added to whatever
-        group has those permissions (probably tty).
-     </para>
      <para>
-        Once <application>Evolution</application> knows how to get the
-        mail, address, and calendar data, it needs to know what to do
-        with it.  When you synchronize your local data with the data
-        on a server or handheld device, you may run into conflicts:
-        perhaps you have ended up with two cards with the same name
-        and different addresses, or old mail that has been deleted
-        from one device but not the other.  What if you want to keep
-        only the a few contacts or messages on your hand-held or your
-        laptop, but keep all the data server or your desktop machine?
-        Select the <guibutton>Synchronization</guibutton> tab from the
-        <interface>Preferences</interface> window to set up the
-        conflict resolution preferences.

+        Once your computer and your Palm-OS device are talking happily
+        to each other, you'll have to decide what exactly you want
+        them to do with the data they exchange.  Your options may vary
+        depending on the conduit, but typically they will be:
