[missing-sync-palmos-talk] Import/export from Memo app - key is data fields, not fonts and formatting

[Cooper Marcus]

Could I put in a vote for getting the CURRENT version of MemoPad to  
work, period?! Aren't we still stuck with the 100% CPU, slow typing  
bug? Or are there users out there who are not experiencing this bug?  
If so, any tips on how you got MemoPad to behave properly?
