Re: [NTLK] NCX (was OT - Off Topic - Delta Airline SkyMiles)

I concur, NCX wouldn't work for me at all on Tiger (and now I'm on
Leopard). I had to use nSync and NewTen. That created a whole mess
of other troubles because at the end of the day there is no silver
bullet for syncing a modern address book with the Newt.

For instance, the first time I got it to sync it only sent over about
a quarter of my contacts. Then I figured out it would only sync
contacts that had a contact category. I never had much use for
contact categories so then I had to go through a 500-odd contact
address book and put them all in categories. Then if one contact was
in more than one category it didn't like that either. Syncing with
Adress Book on Tiger was something I spent hours and hours on, with
advice from this list and other sources i hand. Part of that time was
trying NCX and nSync and others to see what would work and what
wouldn't.
