Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Thanks, D. But for $59.95, I'm surprised it doesn't synch the calendars with Palm Desktop. Or use Bluetooth.

Hmm.

I was sure that iSync explicitly told me it couldn't sync with my Palm device. Yet, there is a conduit for iSync, and I'm testing it now.

Our wings are not tired

I use iSync with my Treo which is pretty much just a palm device. It even works across Bluetooth with no problems.

The only remaining thing I need to resolve is to make the Palm iSync before the phone. It's pretty smooth, even if I did manage to delete all the phone book entries from the phone while I was experimenting.

Hey. New board.

For syncing with a Palm (Treo, in this case), I much prefer Missing Sync to Hotsync + iSync on a Mac. In Tiger, it has its own conduits for iCal and Address Book that sync things like categories (for both contacts and calendar), user pictures, IM address, and so forth - things that iSync misses. It can also use any other conduit (I've got Documents to Go on there, for instance), install software (on the internal memory or a card), sync with an iTunes playlist or iPhoto album, sync files with any folder on your hard drive (to a card), and many other neat things. Of course, if all you're doing is transferring the phone numbers from Palm->Phone, then there's no need for that, and you could stick with the free.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I downloaded that for work and home -- it's fast. Totally worth having to pick new themes for (since neither of the ones I'd been using have been upgraded to work with the new version yet).

Yeah, I already miss my Brushed theme. OTOH, all the extensions I had were compatible or upgradable, and it did the upgrade check automatically.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Is this on PCs or Macs?

Both. I miss my Mac theme the most. (Oh Abstract X, why won't you upgrade? Why?)
