A partnership is an established relationship between a Pocket PC 
handheld and a computer that enables communication. The Pocket PC can 
only establish two partnerships at a time. This is a Pocket PC 
limitation. If one of the two partnerships is available Missing Sync 
will use that partnership. In the BETA Missing Sync 1.0.2 (available at 
www.markspace.com/testing and shipping soon!), if both partnerships are 
already in use Missing Sync will present a dialog box asking you to 
pick which partnership you want to overwrite, or enable you to connect 
to the handheld as a guest. Logging in as guest does not change your 
current partnerships. You can continue to log in as guest as many times 
as you want. This same behavior exists with ActiveSync running on a 
windows PC.

To view the current partnerships on your handheld follow these steps:
1) Tap Start > ActiveSync (when the handheld is not connected)
2) Tap Tools > Options
3) Tap the pop-up menu labeled "Use this PC:"
4) If you have just one name, there is only one partnership. If you 
have two names your partnerships are both taken.

The partnership name is taken from your Mac Rendezvous name. To check 
or change you Mac Rendezvous name open the Sharing Mac system 
preference.
