I have had trouble for months with my Pocket PC and ActiveSync, which pretty much refused to install on any PC I tried it with. I wanted to install it at work because, well, I have a Mac at home now and have harvested my old PC on the altar of Jobs. Mac software to sync my PPC costs pretty hefty $$$ (though thankfully they now have a version for $15 that I plan on getting come payday) and I have a PC at work…so why not install it at work, right? Well, that’d be all well and good if Microsoft didn’t suck my will to live.
I had nothing but problems installing it on my old work computer. So, since I just got a NEW work computer last week I figured it’d be good to go and I’d have no problems. Wrong AGAIN. I really am sick of my Pocket PC needing to be updated and having no venue with which to do it, so I downloaded the early release of ActiveSync 4.0 from teh Intarwebs, and the installation actually happened. I feel like running around the office to the tune of “We Are the Champions” (which I frequently feel like doing when I accomplish something I consider to be great) with a flag draped across my shoulders. Now I can install the software I want without having to pray that the developers have a direct installer on their website. Ahh, the glory of technology. Y’all might laugh, but it’s pretty damn cool to roll up to the coffee shop, pull out my Pocket PC and keyboard and voila! Computer.
