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

[Tim Collier]

Paul:
You need to re-read my post.  I NEVER stated that I was having ANY sync
problems using 2 computers.......actually it's the opposite.  I routinely
sync my Tungsten C to my iBook and my iMac.  It helps to keep everything the
same on each computer and the Palm.  I did state that I previously had a
Clie which I synced to only one computer and it was very flakey.  Don't have
those problems now.
