SyncCM ethnic hunger pangs causing embarassment...

[lvirden@xxxxxxx (Larry W. Virden)]

Platform: Palm II upgraded to a III, with PalmOS 3.0.2 upgrade.
Desktop: SPARC Solaris 2.6, CDE, perl 5.004_01, binary distribution of
PilotManager and pilot-link.

For the past few months now I've been seeing a problem in PilotManager.
Appointments have been disappearing.  I first noticed the disappearing
appointments when I started getting phone calls asking why I wasn't at 
particular meetings.

This week I really noticed an increase in the behavior.  For instance
(typing to the Subject line) I have seen at least 4-5 appointments which
I started out the week seeing on my desktop calendar.  After my first sync,
the appointments disappeared from my desktop calendar, but remained on my
Palm.  I then synced again.  They continued to be missing from the desktop
but be present on the Palm.  After a few more syncs for installing code,
doing backups, etc.  I happened to go back and they were missing from both
places.

It's becoming embarassing.  People are asking why I would want to use
a Palm if it can't remember appointments.  Even worse, they are suggesting
that since 3com doesn't seem to support anything other than a Windows machine
(or a PowerMac I guess) if I shouldn't  just replace my SPARC with a Windows
machine!

I think that's extreme.  However, I can't keep missing appointments - and
carrying paper copy is really not what I want to begin again either.

Has anyone else faced, and conquered, this problem?
