OK - here's a workable technique for when you forget to add the "Sync"
category or title to new or modified items:
Keep handy custom views for:
Contacts < Date Modified> <is less than> 7 days [or whatever]
Tasks < Date Modified> <is less than> 7 days
Notes < Date Modified> <is less than> 7 days
Events <Date> <Is less than> 0 days from now
<Category <Is not> Holiday [my suggestion]
<Category> <Is not> <Already Synced>
Go to each of the first 3, select all click in category column and add Sync
category. Go to the Events one and (first time) select all, deselect a few
you know you've done, add Sync category.
NOW go to Sync Custom View, select all (they will all be there) and run the
script. Go back to Events view, select All (really All) and add Already
Synced category so they disappear and won't come back.
You can change the 7 days to whatever makes sense.

I've been asking on the AppleScript list (as you may have seen) and that
error you saw is well known for meaning "low memory partition". On an OS X
applet, which can take as much memory as it needs, it means "low memory on
computer", since each app should be able to take as much as it can get. It
looks like your rev 1 iBook strikes again. ;-)
I was wrong: there's no limit per variable. It would be extremely tedious to
write each record (contact, task, event, note) to a text file as it appeared
instead a full list at a time. I could experiment with building a text block
instead of a list, however, and writing that all at once. I'll test with my
new scripts to see if that makes any difference. But these will be running
from Entourage anyway, with all its memory resources, not from an applet.
We'll see.
