I am using e2sync and am really liking its rich interface with Entourage

I then discovered that Palm Hotsync had a free Tyger upgrade Palm OS 4.2.1
reveision d.  When I ran e2sync with this all my problems disappeared. So I
feel I should be sticking with HotSync for now, because the new version of
MissingSync does not address the Entourage conduit and nor does it (by their
own admission) support the e2sync conduit... Hope that helps.... But I may
well come back to upgrade my Missing sync if and when they have talked to
the guys at e2sync (because Missing Sync is essentially a richer product
than Hotsync!)
