Hi David,

I will be happy to forward whatever I find out to both you and the list.

To be honest, though, I am rethinking the whole model.  It seems to me
that the days of syncing between PDA's and standalone workstations are
numbered.  In addition, the PalmOS is now more or less dead.  I am
looking to migrate to an Android phone and GMail.  The pros, as I see
them:

-- Desktop/machine independence.

-- Syncing is no longer an issue.

-- Combined with Google Gears you are not bound by connectivity.

The cons:

-- GMail doesn't offer anything like the rich Kontact interface, but 
   that's bound to improve.  In addition, if I can't wean myself from 
   Kontact, it is much more likely that people will hack akonadi-google 
   than KPilot (see "defunct" above).

-- Backup is cumbersome, though akonadi-google almost works and should 
   become workable soon.

Or so I think...

P.S. This is not meant to reflect on the developers of KPilot; they have
always been friendly and helpful; on many occasions they have saved the
day for me.  Thank you, guys.
