So life was fine until the PDA running Microsoft Pocket PC enters your life. This brings up a good point: As consumers we must be cautious of the implications that come with using proprietary software. ``My life is good ... If I buy a Pocket PC (or some other gizmo) my life with be even better! I will be more productive than ever ...'' But then you find yourself trapped. As consumers we must pressure the gizmo manufactures to support OOo. They will respond if enough people make requests. Certainly not a solution to your current problem, Serge, but maybe you should contact the PDA manufactures explaining your needs. Hopefully someone else will have an immediate solution to Serge's problem.
