The problem I am having is slightly different.I understand the PPC 
limitations. The problem I am having is that the machine my pocket is 
set to remote sync to gets reset everytime I dock with missing sync. I 
am only syncing with two machines. One is windows Active sync. The other 
is missing sync. I want to remote sync with my windows machine, and usb 
sync with my mac. The problem is that everytime I go to sync with my pc, 
I have to reset my remote sync options.
