Okay, like this isn't all embarassing enough, I'm using MSN Explorer at the moment, which runs as my default, usually. Thing is, I can't seem to find the (apparently) elusive "internet options".

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

DH sent an email for the Hive =mind

Does anyone knows how to lift the Cingular subsidy lock on a Handspring/PalmOne Treo?

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

You also might be able to find the "Internet Options" on the Control Panel.

Clever you. Who'd of thunk?

Checked that, and everything seems normal and all the defaults are correct, maybe it's just a glitch, or me.... probably me.

I will give a shiny penny to whoever can tell me how to sync Google Calendar with my Treo on my Mac. (There's a program out there that does it for Windows, using .NET, but sadly, I have no Windows and no .NET.)

[eta: Bluetooth solutions would also be acceptable. Exporting my Google Calendar to iCal every night, less so.]

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

I guess this means the "Yay thank you!" email I sent didn't get to you. But I did, so thank you very much!

You're welcome! I shall delete the file now.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Jess, would GCalSync work for you? Looks like it's set up to let you sync directly from the phone's browser: [link]

Ooh, that looks very promising! I'll try installing it when I get home tonight right now, and see how it goes.

[edit: No luck -- "Your device does not support this type of file." Drat!]

You don't have to manually export your calendar to iCal, you can tell iCal to subscribe to your Google Calendar: [link]

As long as you keep iCal running, it should stay in sync, and get exported to your Treo.

Hmmmm....ideally, I'd also like to be able to make changes on the Treo and have them reflected on Google, but the subscription thing looks like it would work too.

Thanks, Tom!
