[missing-sync-palmos-talk] Memopad doesn't really sync ?!

I think that's an unlogical behaviour.

I believe it should be in my own realm of decision to be able to erase that
note pad, have it empty for a moment - or not.

Your intention can be a security issue as well: if I erase all of my notes
within the Memopad on the computer, doing this on purpose (because I was
done with them - also maybe because I don't want anybody to see them while
looking over my shoulder when I'm sitting in front of my monitor) - then I'd
want them gone and not reappear on the screen all of a sudden when the next
sync terminates.

It's only possible to wipe the computer's Memopad if I erase all notes on
the handheld (I am always using true two way sync in my examples here).

This is then, therefore, not "synchronisation", but rather "Handheld
overwrites Macintosh", hence the behaviour, as you describe it, is
illogical.

Scott, you write the following:

I can empty all my memos on my handheld, then click Synchronize (both ways)
and all memos on the computer's Memopad are gone. Therefore there's no
protection, really - as you inteded it to be.

If it is possible to erase one way, it should be possible the other way as
well - especially if true synchronisation was selected.
