Mauricio-- I got it!!!! Active Synd has posed no problems. I already
eBay'ed away my SDIO card, but I might get another now. I appreciate
the help from you and all in this group. With the info received from
your reply to my post and my weeks of lurking, I have finally 'gotten
a clue' and am actually thinking on my own with my pocketpc. (BTW, I
have a physician friend from nz and he's one hell of a smart guy and a
very nice man. Well, I guess he's smart... we have a lot of hurricanes
around here and he likes to get on his sail boat and go towards them!!
I guess it's good that he's an er physician!!
Regards, Ron
