	You're using Unix.  Yes, it's Unix with a pretty face called 
Aqua, but it's still Unix.  And cron is a utility that has existed 
within Unix for decades.  It's provided by Apple, as part of the OS. 
So, it doesn't do a damn bit of good to be complaining about things 
that Apple has provided and then trying to use those as an excuse to 
go back to so-called "standard" Apple software, since Apple provided 
the software you're complaining about in either case.

	Same goes for iSync.  No sense bitching about it here, because 
Apple created it, and Apple is responsible for fixing it.  And it 
doesn't make any sense to bitch and moan about MissingSync not fixing 
this problem and going back to "standard" Apple software (like 
iSync), because Apple created this problem in the first place.


	If you're going to bitch and moan about something, the first 
thing you need to do is to better understand just what it is that 
you're bitching and moaning about, and then figure out where it is 
that you should bitch and moan in order to try to get the problem 
corrected.
