[missing-sync-palmos-talk] Fwd: Re: [Mark/Space Support #544941]: Missing Sync for PalmOS

You know, after dealing with these kinds of problems
before I purchased Missing Sync, I purchased Missing Sync
so that I would no longer have to deal with these kinds
of problems.  If I still have to deal with this anyway, then I might
as well go back to the Apple products.  I'm not trying
to be rude, but frankly to explain what I really am thinking.  This
is frustrating to me because it was the one reason I
bought in.  The advertising made it look like I could get
MS and then it would be easy, plug and play.  I do understand
that things sometimes happen, but all of this ugly workaround
business is the reason people buy Macintoshes.
