[missing-sync-palmos-talk] Sync with StickyBrain

Hi Rob,

Good to know that Missing Sync will choose the correct PDA during a sync.
That will make it much easier when my girlfriend gets a PDA - just have to
remember to clean up my 'little black book' first :)

Let me know if the "Profile" thing work for you.  What you are saying makes
sense, and I had not thought of that.  It would be great if this works
without having to do anything extra.  I'm hoping that when multiple PDAs are
used, 2 copies of these notes are stored.  In my Documents/Palm folder,
things are subdivided by User name.  If this is where things get stored,
then maybe the problem is already solved for us.

Please post your feedback when you try this.

Thanks very much,
Michael Tall
