Re: [NTLK] Newtsync Failure on Names/Address Book

I wish someone had said that with that clarity before I spent almost
a week worth of work hours trying to empty my Newtons a few months
ago. Even the author (who was quite responsive and friendly) seemed
stunned that I was having a problem. I spent three all-evening
sessions at the Washington Apple Pi Tuesday Night Clinic and another
few hours with a list member who lives near me. I wound up giving up,
but only after extensive efforts.

Thx for your candor.
