I always knew Warner existed as he subscribes to the same philosophy that I do. Remember Descartes? "I ink, therefore I am." ;)

Existence can be viewed as an existential question. As apparently can syncing for some using Windows Mobile Device Center or ActiveSync.

Sorry, Mike, I don't mean to belittle anyone's bad experiences. I've followed jk's bad experiences with ActiveSync for some time and keep shaking my head, tossing salt over my shoulder, rubbing rabbit's feet, and lord knows what other mystic and existential rituals I can find, when it works for me.

And then you synced your iPod touch with your MacBook Pro and remembered why you switched :)

>>>Trust me, Warner Crocker not only exists, but at times it seems he exists in multiple places.

Mike Cane: "It makes me wonder if you really exist." -- Trust me, Warner Crocker not only exists, but at times it seems he exists in multiple places. (I believe Marc Orchant also made that observation.)

Woadan: I guess I'm one of the lucky ones. >P

James, just remember: It's not a bug (as Microsoft does not have bugs), it's an undocumented feature!
;)

Sumocat: I have never been able to get any version of Windows using any version of Active Sync to let me copy things to the memory cards in my iPAQs and Jornadas. I simply put what I want on the card directly from the PC and then insert said card into the PDA.

Silly me, just shoot me!
:D

>>>I guess I'm one of the lucky ones. WMDC has been working flawlessly for me since its first release. I've not had syncing problem one.

You do realize that everyone HATES hearing that -- in every forum where such a comment is posted -- don't you?

It makes me wonder if you really exist. Or if there is a company out there that specializes in posting "I've never had problems" posts...

"Now, I'm thinking to myself that I'm using Microsoft Vista, Microsoft Windows Mobile, and Microsoft OneCare so they should be able to figure out what they need to do to work without my interventions." -- Yeah, I thought that with Windows XP, Windows Mobile, Windows Media Player, and ActiveSync, but never could get media to sync to the SD card in my Pocket PC without soft resets.

Richard, I agree that the Mark Space solution on the Mac is much better than the Windows solution. What is better than the Mac solution is OTA syncing between WM and the Exchange Server and that's what I use most. I will stop connecting the Advantage to the Vista box forthwith and go back to the sweet Exchange Server syncing.
