Yeah, I now work for IBM. They seem to 'force' all
their business partners to use LN, and probably charge
them a fortune in licencing too :-O

This still exists, maybe it's a new incarnation, but I
bet it doesn't come in Newton flavour.

Not good.

Same thing happened to me and many of my IT friends.
We felt this too, in the UK.

Yeah there are several. They are between about $50-90.
IBM even sells their 'Lotus EasySync' which works with
Palm and PC, is qualified for LN upto and including
v7, and its 60'ish bucks. As an IBM employee though, I
can get it for free ;-)

BTW - I found all this out today. When I should've
been working... but hey, I'm trying to boost my
productivity...

I guess no one solution is going to be totally plain
sailing.
