[missing-sync-palmos-talk] exporting Clie Memos; exporting photos

[Rob and Satoko at BECS]

Thank you Matthew very much for your advice. I haven't had the time yet to
try it but I'll give it a shot. I've been frustrated for months since I did
a doodle for a friend who then wanted a copy of it!

Also thanks Thomas Streeter for your suggestion for getting photos from the
memory stick with a reader.

Of course now the new release fixes that problem, so thanks Scott, Ken and
all for that!

Rob
