I'm also a dollar short, generally speaking. But thanks to you (and all
others who have replied) - I'll check out the eval. It won't muck up my
existing settings at all, will it? <pretty please>

Clinton Fitch [MVP-Mobile Devices] 01-04-2006, 10:00 PM It shouldn't be an issue... I loaded it up and haven't had any issues with
it at all. Sync's have been just fine as well.
The demo's from PhatWare are fully functional so you will get a *real* taste
for it.
