Yes, it seems really nice and easy to use :-)
On the Newton it works flawlessly!

I downloaded and installed the "eBase Connection Utility" but it
doesn't work :-(
I just get a message that says "eBase Connection Utility cannot
continue because there was an error initializing the menus".
I followed the instructions in the read me and I installed it several
times, but it doesn't seem to work.
The only way I found is to import in NewtonWorks the database as a
comma-delimitated text and then to reorganize the database in eBase,
which is quite uncomfortable.
This was just a little database with my DVDs and VHS to try sharing
databases between the Titanium and the Newton.
However it would be great to find a comfortable way to do so, it would
let me use the Newton more in a daily basis and maybe give one also to
our sales representatives ;-)
I will be trying Filepad via serial cable, even if it means to be stuck
with the Performa and not being able to transfer data directly form the
Titanium :-/
Thanks all for the support.
Michael
