Exactly, Lynn.

I tried it today and it flat didn't work on my Clie (would do everything except display the newsfeeds!). I emailed the developer (Ben) and to my surprise he answered within about 15 minutes! After a volley of emails and me sending him the parsed file, he modified the .dll and sent me an update, and it worked fine.

He seems extremely responsive, and appreciative of the feedback (so if anyone's using it, please send in comments/suggestions).

For a PDA with a 'net connection, it's a nice setup. For those of us without it who rely on syncing, it's not as nice, but still usable if the feeds one pulls are those that have complete contents.

I also put in a suggestion for them to develop a usenet reader (there really isn't a decent alternative out there), and he expressed a lot of interest in this if and after the Hand/RSS is successful.

Cheers,
Gary
