Hello PJ,

I am also using MyRealBox.com on a daily basis ... I have numerous accounts that I use for different reasons. As an example, I set up an account just to handle forwarding mail to my cell phone ... I give people that address to "page" me ... and I also use the "proxy" capabilities to pick up mail from several other mail servers ...

> I'm just waiting for the digitalme integration :)

This is a comment that confuses me ... what do you mean by this? If the digitalme folks wanted to, they could offer a mail service with digitalme ... but I don't understand what you are after specifically here ...

I would rather see the digitalme folks do their own thing, and I certainly hope they don't mess up a good thing by changing MyRealBox.com ... it works and has a lot of users ...

> Do you know anything about the Palm V integration with digitalme?

No ... I haven't been following this ... and although I am an official beta test site for many other Novell products, I have never been asked to work with the digitalme team doing any testing or providing feedback ...

That's a good question ... there are several ways that it could be developed, and hopefully it adheres to some sort of an architecture which allows for *total* sync ... so that it becomes the "hub" of multi-way synchronization of data ...

So is it something that is available now? Have you tried it?

The bookmark capabilities need to be easily available and shareable ... the ClickMarks idea has some value ... and the downloading of web pages will be there ... but WAP is really where it's going. Why download if you can access it via wireless in real time?

I thought that someone had already written a Palm E-Mail application. Didn't they?

What? No obvious feedback button? No immediate response to comments and queries?

Yep ... it's in my neck of the woods ... I'll be there. I had hoped to present on a couple of subjects, but the sessions were not approved by the folks at Novell ... I've got some cool things brewing and hope to get them out in the first quarter ... ;-)

(Oh yeah ... we'll be looking for private placement funding also ... not that this is a solicitation of any kind ... ;-)
