They write software on the Windows side just fine, yet for the Mac side, haven¹t updated their stuff significantly since the Carbon port of Claris Organizer, and now are throwing their hands up and saying ³Use Missing Sync². I don¹t mind that, since Missing Sync is TONS better than anything Palm ever had on the platform, but I think Palm, and not the Mac BU deserve primary blame for the craptacular state of Palm syncing on the Mac. > > 3.
