well, my question is actually if there is an equivalent for 'calls' in=20=

mac OS X. i havent seen any such apps. syncrinization is step 2, so to=20=

say - i might have been vague here.

i want to be able to use an app for keeping track of who i called and=20
why, what we said, who to contact furthermore and who will reply. the=20
newt handles this info just perfectly well, but id like to have the=20
same possibility on the mac. if there is such an app, it would of=20
course be cool to syncronize it with the newt. like you say, mailing=20
separate items to the mac makes no sense, since it is only a one-way=20
operation. ill look into the possibilities offered by the XML=20
converter, but i doubt it will be of any use - it has to be an app with=20=

simple operation and a two-way communication.

sometimes i just wish there was a newton simulator for the mac..
