The main thing I learned was that everything needed to be on the PC in get-at-able format. I had too many things in my PDA only programs that did not have a PC interface. I still have panicky thoughts every time the thing discharges itself, but with the Backup Buddy VFS, and knowing that at most I will be one day off from what is on the PC, I usually am able to calm down.

Those too were my words as my PPC unexplicably STOPPED syncing with my Outlook task list last month. There are so many things that I tried to put down in the PDA that I now must retrieve and verify in my @home helper. I too have used this to review what was/is important and find new possible sources of help. (BTW I used adbidea [happyroadjack.com] to sort of sync in the meantime as it too has a ppc/pc link. Now I have found Accomplice, but I am looking forward to resetting the PDA AFTER I finish reviewing for "lost" information.) Oh no!
