Re: Need help understanding desktop/handheld relationship

I know what you mean about sleep...next month will be 9 years since
the arrival of my first of three girls!! :)

Please check your email for a detailed description of what I
discovered in my setup, as it seems quite odd to me. I think answering
those questions will clearly resolve my issues.

BTW, the new Palm does look yummy, doesn't it? :)

Thanks so much!
Mark
