I've not found anything usable at all - where do I find NoteCard?

You might check out gpasman
It looks to only be 2 weeks old
However on the project homepage there is no mention of a version that will also work on a WinXP PC.
Any other suggestions?

Before I commit to the arduous task of converting 100's of encrypted memos to NoteCard, I wanted to ask if there is anything else I've missed that I should also try.
Cheers!
I don't know what data you've got in your encrypted memos, or how well it will handle that.
See http://qt4.garage.maemo.org/dists/ch...rmel/keepassx/
and search the 'net for "keepass" and "keepassx" for the Windows and Linux desktop versions.

However I still can not get the DateBook to sync (all other PIM apps sync fine) and based on info from the Garnet forum it's due to me running newer version of the Palm desktop. I can't find any posts there from users that have 100% successful syncs which version of Palm desktop they are using. That and I can crash the VM loosing all data entered since the last time I exited the VM (seems to save on exit). Nonetheless, I'll still need to run the Garnet VM for a few apps (teal auto for example).

Hmm, longer rant than I expected, maybe I need to post some questions in the Garnet forum too.
Shall I assume that using cygwin rsync on my WinXP box is the best way to keep password app DB, docs, etc... "hotsynced" (synchronized) between my N810 and my PC?

I have Garnet running and I use it for an Ultralingua French dictionary and SplashID password manager which work ok. But it's sort of flaky and I'd like something that has a future rather than a kludge.
I find the IT a bit like that, though. By turns brilliant and then amateur. For example, I set up Skype last week. A cinch to set up....BUT...I wanted it for SMS for which I use Skype mainly on my desktop. So having set it up, I go to send an SMS. Er, it can't do that!
My £10 Nokia PAYG can - why can my £300 IT not?

Searching here reveals "Password Safe" which appears to be abandoned due to lack of support for current DB formats (lots of posts found here detailing why it no longer works and legacy work-arounds). Also found "TrueCrypt" which is currently being worked on, but not ready with a dumbed down UI that I need. I tried NoteCase and had success creating a populated DB on my PC and was able to open/modify it on my N810, then see those changes back on the PC.
Before I commit to the arduous task of converting 100's of encrypted memos to NoteCard, I wanted to ask if there is anything else I've missed that I should also try.
