I have been following this discussion and I am not sure I understand the 
problem with syncing your PPC with XP and OSX.  I am a new PPC and new 
MS user who has just recently joined the list.

You shouldn't have any trouble syncing your PPC between the two 
computers.  Windows Mobile supports synchronization with multiple 
computers.  Your pocket PC will maintain connection information for two 
systems, any more and you will have to delete a profile to create another.

I sync my PPC to my PowerBook with MS at home and I use ActiveSync 
combined with GroupWise PDA Sync to sync with GroupWise on my Windows 
2000 workstation at work. Besides keeping personal data separate from 
business data, I haven't really had any trouble.

I might be able to help you all find a solution to the Sync to Mac and 
2000/XP problem but need to know more precisely what the problem is.

Take Care,
-Rockey

My work computer runs windows 2000 and my home computer is a G4 with the latest version of OSX. I have the option of running either Entourage or the suite of MAC apps(iCal, adress book, etc) on my MAC.

I prefered Missing Sync when I was using it but support for Apple programs only prevents me from using Missing Sync currently.
