Ah, yes. Your posting from the other day did not mention quitting  
after disconnect, just "how nice it'd be to have the Missing Sync  
disconnect when the device is taken from the cradle."

I just poked through the code and have fixed this problem for a  
future release. I tested it by clicking on the disconnect button as  
well as pulling the device from the cradle.

Thanks for the poke on that one!
