Allen -
Thanks for that.
Unfortunately, it comes close to answering the question, "No."
I have had a PalmOS PDA and find them as annoying as they are useful. If I
have more scattered appointments, as in sales, I know I would feel
different. Occasionally, I do with I had one.
For the most part, though, the PDA sits in my briefcase.
I'm waiting for a really good Phone Digital Assistant PhDA (just made that
up, and you saw it here first).
As for IMAP, it is not such a good option when you use a proprietary domain
for email. I do, in fact, use Yahoo when on the road, but it's not a great
solution. It is the best I've come up with.
Getting a PowerBook would be the best solution.
Unfortunately, I have
non-Apple computer company clients who do not appreciate my showing up with
a non-PC. I decided to get a good one while I was at it and blew my road
budget on it.
For the Calendar and Contact stuff, I'm going to have to stick with Now
software. It doesn't work all that well on the Mac anymore, but it is
available on both platforms.
Wonder why Microsoft didn't take care of this? I can't be the only person
who finds it odd and something close to a deal breaker??
Best,
- Bill
Get a PDA, preferably Palm OS. Sync Entourage to that; then sync that to
your PC. That should handle all but mail.
If you have just a few mail messages you need to transfer, make them into
Notes in Entourage (or the equivalent on the other side); there is a script
in the Script menu to do that. The Notes will sync to the PDA.
I think the best method for mail is either to use an IMAP account or web
mail access to your POP account. The IMAP is best because you have the
identical mail available on any number of machines and platforms.
