[missing-sync-palmos-talk] Installation question

[W Yu]

Took a deep breath and installed MissingSync 4.0.2b3 and carried out the
first sync. It all worked and appears to have had no drama. The only
transient anomaly was at the first attempted sync, MissingSync app started
for a few seconds and then crashed and vanished. When I manually tried to
open that app, it did it again. But since, it has been able to startup the
application reliably. Not sure what the issue was. However, two sync
attempts hence (hitting the sync button on the cradle) failed again to
properly startup the MissingSync module. But now it's working again. Kinda
weird but will continue to monitor...

While getting to know the new environment better, I noted that under the
System Preference -> Accounts -> Startup Items, I still have "Palm Desktop
Background" listed. Do I still need this what appears to be a Palm app for
MissingSync to function? Or can I delete this along with Palm
Desktop/Hotsync Manager?

In any case, this is a positive usage report of the latest beta. My
configuration is,

Mac OS X 10.3.5
Palm T2
Key third party conduits include: WorldMate, Entourage, Now-Up-to-Date,
Apple's iSync, Mal Conduit (for Avantgo), Star Alliance timetable conduit,
DTG, iSilo, Pocket Quicken, Splash ID, Splash Photo.

Cheers!
