Default Contact activities vs Journal

Can anyone explain the difference between these two methods of tracking
contact related info? I'd like to turn journaling on, but get a notice
saying the contact activities tab is better suited. Ideally, what I'd like
to have is the 10,000 ft view of the entries. Not a granular solution which
would require looking at each contact's activity tab for the info. Thanx!

Default Contact activities vs Journal

A contact's Activities page can show all of the items related to that contact -- either by email address or by explicit link -- not just the specific items stored in the Jurnal folder.

That helps a bunch. I synch Outlook to my Treo650. I'd be lost w/out that
handy little gadget. It's saved my derrier more than once. My synch conduit
is Pocket Mirror Pro XT. Chapura has developed a couple options and I'm
simply trying to understand how the options interact w/the Outlook, and other
PalmOS, data. Thanx Sue!
