[missing-sync-palmos-talk] Syncing doesn't work...frustration grows...

[Henry Seiden]

What's your solution to this, for instance: you work at home and at an
office on two different desktop computers that don't (easily) connect
together. You have data (contacts, schedules, etc.) that is common to both
and that you want to keep the entire set of data on your PDA as well.
Wouldn't you want to simply synchronize that data between the PDA and the
two desktops so that each machine has one common set of updated information?

This shouldn't be too unfamiliar. Possible solutions and the specific issues
have been discussed here before.

A more elegant solution to the dilemma is provided by M$ Entourage, plus you
can you choose to sync a subset of your entire contact, or address and task
data using Projects in Entourage and non-networked machines via a '.mac'
account. However getting the sync even to one machine with Entourage seems
unusually challenging with Missing Sync.
