Actually TB is the reason I still got W$ on my home machine. At work I am forced to use W$, and I pack my portable TB in a pen drive so as to have my mails available at all times. For a calendar I use EssentialPIM (also portable). If someone knows how to be able to use a portable TB at the office under W$ but then be able to access the same mails in a linux box I'd be thankful for the tip. I don't use activesync, I like my phone to be a phone, and I think PDA's are a scam (why can't a PDA have a 20Gb disc when an MP3 device will?). For synchronizing my pen files I use SyncBack. I wish I could do all this cross platform, then I'd only have linux at home. _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[EMAIL PROTECTED] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
