That sounds wonderful! The only problem is that I dropped my PDA (handspring visor ) sometime ago and have been using only the desktop version on the pc. The screen on the PDA is cracked and I cannot give it sync instructions or reset from battery changes without a screen! Catch 22! Maybe I will get on ebay and buy an inexpensive replacement and do as you suggest. I just hate to have to spend the money for something I had gotten used to not having just so I can get those files moved. But such may be the case.
