Re: Access Releases Garnet VM Beta 2

Works for me! Full size screen, oriented like a Palm, the addition of the To Do List, and the ability to store (through Xterm, with /usr/bin/gvm/gvm --hotsyncid="Sync Name") the ID info. A winner!

Re: Cannot Launch EMail Client after Update

this happens to me quite often, too. I seem to have to wait until I get the flashing message arrived icon, then I can launch it. I'd like to understand this better, too.

Thanks for that posting. The pimlico site is refreshingly clean and fast. I downloaded the Task app, and except for the difficulty in choosing a due date, find this easy to use. Very promising!
