PalmSync for Thunderbird AB
I got PalmSync to work (a Thunderbird extention to work with MozAB) today. I had tried and tried it when I first got my (Palm) Zire 31 not too long ago. I gave up. I tried it on my DH’s laptop as well, and Nada … so I gave up totally. Today I got it…

Dual Obsoleteness
Courtesy of: Tamara. I took this quiz twice, four of the Q’s I answered the same as before, but otherwise not.
