Virtual PC with your choice of Windows OS, I chose XP Pro, is a good 
option. I find that Active Sync under VPC and XP works perfectly with 
no hassles, other than those I cause. And it really is 'active' since 
if I change a record in a Filemaker database I've synced with FMP 
Mobile or a date in a calendar or contact, etc., if the 5450 is 
connected, active sync updates both ways immediately.

Plus you get to use other neat software not available on the Mac such 
as Pocket Streets and MS Streets, etc. DeLorme is available on the Mac 
but it is very low quality.
