[missing-sync-palmos-talk] Super Duper Slow Calendar

[Daniel Goldenholz]

Hi again. No one ever replied to my previous message. I solved it 
myself. I thought someone else may benefit from this info:

I spent hours digging through the internet and playing with hard-resets 
and so forth. In the end, I learned this:
it is possible for a calendar file to somehow get screwed up, and slow 
your Palm Calendar program down to idiotically slow speeds.
It does not seem to reflect the number of events. It is either a bad 
event, or a bad calendar.
What I did was create a new calendar, manually entered in the info for 
it (same as my old, faulty calendar), and after a hard reset and 
re-installing everything, my Calendar works fine again.

Since for some reason, you cannot have events that span multiple days in 
Palm Calendar, the workaround there is to simply use the repeating event 
option instead.
