[missing-sync-pocketpc-talk] repeating events shifted one day

[Michael Bertl]

In Mark/Space's defense: in this case it is rather an new feature (the 
use of POOM) than a bugfix that will (hopefully) fix our problems. 
Furthermore Apple charges you full price for a big update, whereas here 
you at least get half price off.

Don't get me wrong - I'm not particularly keen on paying those $20, but 
I have learned to live with the limitations of the 1.0 release and if 
2.0 lives up to its promises, I will definitely support them by buying 
it. Also it's not like this is the only Mac/PPC syncing solution - so 
you're always free to spend your money elsewhere.
