[missing-sync-palmos-talk] Memo Pad

[Donald Reed]

Hi Tony

Thank you very much for the quick and excellent reply. I am sorry you 
had so much difficulty with MS and the Memo function. I have been with 
them since the beginning as I bought a Sony Clie because of the better 
color display only to find out that Sony didn't have the consideration 
to include us "Forever Macintosh" folks in their software plans. 
Missing sync has been a life saver for me as I rely on my PDA all day 
long.

On October 11 Russ Carlson wrote me with the following:

"Be sure you have the right Memo conduit.  Look in
Library>Application Support>PalmHotsync>Conduits.  The conduit needed 
to use MissingSync
MemoPad is the MemoPadConduit.plugin.  If you have other Memo conduits 
in
this folder, move them out (to a 'Disabled' folder)."

I found that I had the "MemoPadConduit.plugin" in my disabled file and 
the MemPad conduit in the conduit file. I switched these and not 
everything syncs perfectly. (Be sure the .plugin conduit is the only 
memo conduit in the conduit file.)

I switched to using iSync because PalmOne has never commited to the 
Macintosh platform and the desktop is archaic.  I Use Microsoft Office 
constantly but have never invested the time to look at the features of 
Entourage. Thanks for the insight...I will take a look at it.

Do you think Office 2004 is worth the upgrade. I just bought Office X a 
year ago and don't know whether it is worth the added cost to upgrade 
to 2004. I am heavy Excel and Word with occasional Powerpoint usage.

I hope you can come to terms with your powerbook and Missing sync. I 
have had great success with the program itself and the support staff 
specifically. The beta's caused me a few panics and crashes but  since 
I downloaded the new 4.0.1 (and concurrently solving my memopad.plugin 
issue) it has been functioning without a problem.

Thanks again for all you insight and help.
Enjoy the day
Don
