Rubbish! SwitchHack ignores HotSync notifications. The MRU
list is not affected.

This is already done.

Something like Option C is being tested at the moment. Option B is
now officially "under consideration" :)
SwitchHack 1.40 is now available from PilotGear, etc. This is an
essential upgrade for IIIx and V users, as earlier versions do not
support PalmOS 3.1.
Perhaps Chris Antos would do us the kindness of actually TRYING the
product before slagging it off :-)
