[missing-sync-palmos-talk] Use FTP Client, INREPLY-TO: Conduits for same data; memo app; exporting photos; exporting Clie Memos

[Thomas Streeter]

VFS-FTP sounds like a cool program. Do you know if it requires a cable 
connection, or if it can also work via wifi?

(What I was actually hoping for for freenote "doodles" was something 
that could TRANSLATE the files into jpegs or gifs or something readable 
by non-Sony software. But that's another matter ...)

Thanks,
Tom
