The Adaptec 1460T type II SCSI card has CE drivers for it. One can even read and write to a SCSI array if that's what makes one's blood run hot, but then that's hardly the point is it?
But look, it's not about getting rid of a laptop. It's about enabling people to get the most out of a platform that fits their needs. Lots of people are doing most of their computing work on so called PDA sized devices. Many of these people are folks that would not bother if they had to carry a bigger box. If one is looking for an area where sales are driven by new market opportunities as opposed to simply upgrading and replacing an existing installed base, then the small machines is where it's at. The PC hit its Zenith two years ago and has started down. At this point it can only lose ground as the platform of choice for meeting new requirements. Besides, Wintel makes a lousy phone. -----Original Message----- From: Chris Scharff [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, February 05, 2002 1:02 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: synchronizing OWA with OST or PST Something like this perhaps? http://www.mail-resources.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=News&file=article&; sid=85 > -----Original Message----- > From: Soysal, Serdar [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Tuesday, February 05, 2002 2:53 PM > To: Exchange Discussions > Subject: RE: synchronizing OWA with OST or PST > > > I'm waiting for the iPaq with 6GB drive so I can get rid of my laptop. > > -----Original Message----- > From: Ed Crowley [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Tuesday, February 05, 2002 2:09 PM > To: Exchange Discussions > Subject: RE: synchronizing OWA with OST or PST > > > I'm waiting to be able to synchronize my 32-terabyte PST to my PDA. > > Ed Crowley MCSE+Internet MVP kcCC+I > Tech Consultant > Compaq Computer Corporation > Protecting the world from PSTs and Bricked Backups! > > > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Dillon, Jeff > Sent: Tuesday, February 05, 2002 10:40 AM > To: Exchange Discussions > Subject: RE: synchronizing OWA with OST or PST > > > Well, they're now in "bug-fix mode" as you've read, so > there's a general moratorium on desired feature updates as > well as the more numerous "you want this--trust us" stuff. > Probably worth the wait.... > > -----Original Message----- > From: Dupler, Craig [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Tuesday, February 05, 2002 1:33 PM > To: Exchange Discussions > Subject: RE: synchronizing OWA with OST or PST > > > Yes, it works well.
