I'm not much of a programmer but my master's degree is in English and I
just don't see how "HotSync" can be an adjective. First of all, the root
"sync" is a verb root. Second, "Hot", an adjective is clearly used to
describe "sync", which makes the compound term still a verb, albeit one
with a descriptor.
Third, in what context can "HotSync" as an adjective make any sense?
"Honey, how was your day?"
"Oh, it was HotSync."
"I got that cool HotSync Palm Computing Platform device today at
OfficeMax, and boy is it HotSync."
Further, Palm uses the term as a noun, as in "Select local HotSync or
remote HotSync".
Sorry about the signal-noise ratio here, but this is important;). English
follows rules just like C (only they're older and occasionally more
abstruse).
By the way, my 65 year old technophobic mother just bought a Palm V and
loves it. Way to go Palm!
