[missing-sync-pocketpc-talk] .Exe files via the mac?

[Sammy Banawan]

I've got room on my iDisk. Put it in my public folder and I'll post a  
link. If people are interested, I'll see what I can do about hosting  
some .cab installers (for only publicly available software - no warez  
at all) and creating a webpage for it.
