You upgrade and > you're stuck without your handheld. Did M$ lie to you and say "E'rage X supports Palm....PSYCH!!!"? No. They were pretty up front about it. If you chose to ignore that, and not read any readmes on web sites, or any reviews, and ignored item 3 in the Entourage Readme: [3��Synchronizing with a Palm Handheld Entourage�X does not include synchronization with Palm handheld devices. Palm synchronization will be available at a later date. For more information about synchronization with handhelds, see http://www.microsoft.com/mac/entourage/palm/default.asp.] Well, that's your own issue for laying out money without making sure that a critical feature was supported. As well, considering that the Palm Desktop, and hence, all Conduit manager a applications kernel extensions are still in *beta*, exactly how is Microsoft being unconscionable here? You want to gripe about Conduits in X, go to www.palm.com > > If you ask me, it's a move to get people to migrate from Palm to Windows CE. > Not that you can synchronize there either, but what do you suppose may be > "coming soon." A Palm conduit or maybe something else closer to home? Considering that the only source of Mac support for WinCE or PocketPC is a third party company, NOT microsoft, that's a pretty weak accusation. john -- "Sure I am this day we are masters of our fate, that the task which has been set before us is not above our strength; that its pangs and toils are not beyond our endurance.
