Runs okay, kinda.
Authored by: Peganthyrus on Dec 28, '01 10:11:38PM

My experiences:

Installed okay, with the scariness of saying it wanted to delete my old copy (it didn't).

Didn't sync at first. The readme says it won't sync if Classic is running, but I have discovered this is not quite true - it won't sync if Classic is running and the background tasks for detecting a sync are running under Classic; toss those, reboot Classic, and it's fine.

I had the inevitable random duplicates of four or five memos and addresses on my first synch.

More annoyingly, I found that it wanted to back up everything on my Visor. Which is rather annoying when you have an 8 meg device that's mostly full.

It also tends to still occasionally insist on backing up all my programs and their data on a sync. Even when it doesn't do that, it seems to take a lot more time <i>looking</i> at everything, flipping through every program on my PDA.

I think the backup conduit is... um... over-enthusiastic.

Still, it's one less reason to deal with Classic. The only things that use Classic on my machine are the muck client I use and the occasional run of Photoshop.
