I don't think the reason we should get an upgrade addressing the kernel 
panic is because we paid for a product. Markspace decided they would 
terminate the Clie project and that's understandable and respectable. 
It's their choice.

I think it should be done on general principle, tho'. I bought my 
Missing Sync mere months before Panther came out. I think Markspace 
should do like Apple did with OS9. Make the last version stable enough 
for the users to get at least two or three years of use for it without 
upgrades (by which time users should probably look somewhere else for 
new solutions).

This, I insist, is something that should be done on principle and out 
of respect, not out of duty.

While on topic and being offtopic at the same time:

I have a Sony Clie UX50 and I had to just re-install everything in my 
mac. I can't make it sync with the mac but there don't seem to be 
problems. iSync reports it couldn't sync (doesn't say what, but I'm 
guessing it means the Clie) and whereas the calendars are sync'd 
correctly the addresses aren't. I'm using Agendus but doubt that has 
anything to do with it.

Can anyone here provide a FAQ or HOWTO on how should Palm Sync 
installations be made in Panther.5? I would really appreciate it.

If manual uninstall is needed I can deal with that, if instructions are 
hinted at and I don't mind completely erasing my addressbook and my 
Clie if that's needed as well.

Thanks in advance. And thanks to Markspace for reading this, if they 
do, as well.
