[missing-sync-winmobile-talk] Question

[Thomas Arroyo IV]

Thank you Dave. If that is the case I will limit the Sync to my great 
little G4 Powerbook Mac (with Missing Sync), and my main office PC (with 
MS Active Sync). To sync the rest of the computers I guess I will have 
to use Plaxo. That is an easy solution for me then since I now know what 
the problem is. Still I would like to see something written to handle 
the duplicates when they do happen. Plaxo offers this as a service, but 
it is rather expensive. I would not mind something that I could buy as 
normal shareware or freeware. So what I'll do is remove the MS Active 
Sync software on the other PCs so I can at least charge off of them when 
I need to.
Thanks again for the reply.
Tom
