Provided it does work -- my Visor Deluxe refused to sync a couple of
months ago, probably because of neglect --, it works well. The Newton has
no PIM application to sync to, but what have soups got to do with it?
"Soup" is just a fancy name for database, and what do you think contacts,
appointments etc. are stored in on the desktop Mac/PC? Of course it's
databases of some kind or other. Syncing two databases on the dektop and
the PDA can be simple (if versions of the same product are used on both
platforms), or quite complicated, if different software is used and the
amount and kind of data stored differs considerably. Conceptual
differences between Newton OS and Palm OS don't play a role here.
