Some suggestions: 1. For syncing your iPaq to your Mac, you might want to try PocketMac Pro ($40, http://pocketmac.net). From what I've seen it gets better reviews than Missing Sync does.
2. For your MS Project access, you might want to see if your company has a VPN or dial in option to access the network. Then you can turn on Remote Desktop and use the Microsoft Remote Desktop software to run Project on your work computer. Even on a dial-up, the speed shouldn't be too terrible since all your computer is doing is drawing what's on the remote screen. Best of all, if you're running XP Pro on your work computer, the software should be free on both ends. Barring that, some of our folks use FastTrack scheduler, which exports schedules in a format Project can read. It's not cheap though - maybe $300 or so. 3. I don't have a solution for your for MS Money, unless you want to change programs and go with Quicken. I've not used MS Money, but I like Quicken, and it is cross platform compatible. 4. Outlook... what can I say? Entourage was supposed to be the answer for us Mac users. Unfortunately, they shipped it with no MAPI support, so shared calendars and address books are useless. Only solutions I see here are, again, Remote Desktop or Outlook 2001 running in Classic mode. Neither is a pretty solution. If you want to use Virtual PC, you should have a beefy enough system now to run it without it being too sluggish. You will definitely want to boost the memory though. I like checking DealRam (http://www.dealram.com) for current prices. They are really good about matching your system up with the proper chips. Hope this helps! Congrats on your new purchase! Bryan C.
