WHEN WILL ENTOURAGE/PALM/SYNC ISSUES BE ADDRESSED??

Nah. I already sold my 2004 copy on ebay.

Sorry to come off so reactionary... I've just never felt so paralyzed and inconvenienced by something(s) I've spent hundreds of dollars on before.

There's got to be a solution for this coming, right?

Sure, but MS hardly ever psots here and they never make announcements
about this sort of issues.

This is a peer support group. Your guess is as good as ours.

Microsoft has announced on their Mac Mojo blog an Office 12.0.1 update
to be released around March 11 but did not provide a list of specific fixes.

Sync Services has been a high traffic topic so I'd hope any fixes will
be introduced then. No guarantee.

Sync Services must copy items from Entourage, through iSync, and finally
to Palm devices. If iSync screws anything up, then you are hosed. It's
way more complicated than need be. In contrast, the Entourage Handheld
Sync Conduit synchronized items directly between Palm devices and
Entourage.

Microsoft can shove Sync Services where the sun doesn't shine, for all I
care. I want the Entourage Handheld Sync Conduit back, for crying out
loud.

The 12.0.1 release is March 11, let's hope that we'll see improvement then.
