DALE  I often backup, synchronize when I am off line. Qdea gets no info during those operations. I think that you get what you pay for.

DALE  I have the exact same machine. Which version of CHUD are you using?

DALE  (give valid reasons to backup your claims) I had what is probably the same problem that you are having with my MDD G4 when i installed my Yamaha CRW-F1E. just the top corners were catching, and I rounded them with a sharp knife. Only 'minor Surgery', and it has been just fine for 2 years. It was only the top corners that required rounding. I had placed it in the bottom slot.

DALE MERICLE  I commute weekly and have carried my PowerBook for 3 years. I have yearned for a PowerMac G4 Desktop, but did not want the hassle of all of the file upgrades. Synchronize pro has made this possible. I have been able to sync my pictures file (just got a dig cam), Quicken (have not written a check in 3.5 years), PIM, Microsoft user data to sync my e-mail and prefs, Safari and Espolorer 'Favorites', and much more. It is worth every penney.
