[missing-sync-palmos-talk] Sync with Windows and Mac

[Mayuresh Walke]

Hi,

Thanks for your reply. I'm glad that so long as I'm careful what I  
update between syncs, it should work ok. If not, like you say,  
setting one of the machines as a 'slave' is an option.

Thanks again -- makes decision making a lot easier.

Mayuresh
