Re: [NTLK] Fwd: Problem #1...

So, for fear of sounding rude (and that's not my intention), how does this

Are you trying to tell me there are NO XP users on here syncing their
newtons to their outlook contacts/etc. using relatively current hardware?
Because we all know that running that many instances of slowdown won't work.

If you have any suggestions to help, please, I'd love to hear them!
