[X4U] ActiveSync success with WM5 and MacBook Pro

[Michael Elliott]

Jim,

Could you comment on using the new Parallels virtualization software  
with XP and ePocrates?  Give it a try and let us know how it does?

Re: my previous statement about the Palm OS medical coding software  
that was distributed as an .exe installer file.  I actually received  
a phone call from the developers, who reiterated that they "don't  
have any plans to produce Mac applications as of yet."  I again  
reminded them that I'm not in the market for a Mac application...but  
their PALM OS application, and that if they would just provide the  
application in a .zip file, that Mac users could install the app  
themselves with Palm Desktop.

Ugh!

Michael
