I've been an avid PPC user for about 5 years and have had Macintosh computers since the 1980's. I used PocketMac until the upgrade to WM 5.0 and was never very happy with it. Just the simple problem of keeping calendars synched has driven me crazy. And the bugs.... I ended up devoting a big chunk of my hard disk to a Windows installation, just to deal with the Pocket PC (Ipaq 2495).

So I downloaded the free version of Syncmate and it all worked! My calendars, my contacts, internet use while plugged into the Mac. I haven't had any problems, installation was easy, the free version does what I need. And I finally can delete the Windows side of the Mac as unnecessary. That frees up a lot of space on the Mac.

The interface on SyncMate is very clear and usable. I might wish to have the window reduced to just the contact and status bar, but, hey, it's free. The only other wish I have would be the ability to add new applications to the PPC via the Mac. You have to pay for that. I'm not complaining, of course. And I can still go over to a friend with a Windows machine if I really need to.

My deepest thanks to the people that made this possible.
