Yes, as I mentioned earlier in the thread, which you may have missed, I 
have used native Linux "hotsync" type proggies and they function quite 
nicely!  More power to everyone who is using them!  However,  I have an 
additional piece of conduit software (AvantGo) which I was never able to 
get to work with the Linux versions.  I found a web page that had 
instruction which were supposed to let you get around this but I was never 
able to get it to work.  This is entirely my fault.  Linux is GOOD.  OK?

And it's not as if I'm running VMWare just for Hotsync'ing.  I'm also 
running ICQ (yes I know there is a Unix version), and Eudora Pro (which I 
happen to like) for my mail client (yes I know there are other mail clients 
under Unix), and Office (yes, I know Star Office exists, but I don't have 
it, nor the bandwidth to download it, nor am I certain that it is 100% file 
compatible with the M$ stuff), for creating documents for work, and who 
knows, maybe for submitting to a book publisher?  I think "Pragmatic 
Penguinism" would be a great book!  <grin>

I suppose I better not mention that I also run Visual Studio 6 under vmware 
(GASP!  SHUDDER!)
