I read a lot of the Palm sites and I can't find this mentioned anywhere except Mac rumor sites only quoting people who spoke to someone who knows someone who cleaned the floors at PalmSource or other such connection. Palm's official press release on OS 6 certainly doesn't mention it: <http://www.palmsource.com/press/2004/010604_os6.html> I'm not saying it's not true. It very well may be but I'll wait and see before getting nervous. I can't imagine that Palm will ship devices without some sort of free syncing in the box, even if it's not Palm Desktop. And it may be two different things. They may still have Palm Desktop but outsource the HotSync Manager part. The only problem I've had with Entourage syncing is the fact that I sync with both my PC and Mac and since the software is different on both ends I sometimes have trouble with duplicates and being unable to get rid of deleted items easily. Other than that, it's been working fine. I really don't like Entourage's current calendar/contacts window and I prefer to use my PC for editing in Agendus. I'm looking forward to the improvements in Office 2004. -- Judi Sohn Mom at Home Design [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.momathome.com -- To unsubscribe: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> archives: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.letterrip.com/> old-archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.boingo.com/>
