8525 Install CD-- Anything Good?

After being a Palm OS user for many years, I finally got the 8525 10 days ago. It's great, and I enjoy using it. But,... I downloaded Activesync down from MS, and have been using that, instead of unsealing the Install CD that came with the 8525. Is there anything on the CD that I may need? In other words, what's on the CD????

Why don't you just open it up and check it out?
haha

it's got some manuals and outlook... that's about it really.

There is other "junk" on there that you really don't need other than the latest version of ActiveSync which you already have.

Good! I just didn't want to accidently place unused and unwanted junk on the 8525 that would clutter up the program files screen more than it already is. I really got to get a files manager to clean up stuff! Don't get me wrong. I'm real happy with carrying only one device, and the keyboard is bigger easier than the Treos, et al. I just had been with PalmOS since the beginning, WM5 has been a big change!

If you want to use your 8525 as a modem for your laptop when you are out of WiFi range, the CD contains the drivers for the USB cord mode.

My 8525 should be arriving sometime monday (later today). I was wondering if I would have an option of manually installing or selecting what I want to install from the startup CD. This way I could look at what's on it and see what I would definitly need/want to have on it.

TIA
