Can anyone tell me an application that would synch my HP Jornada with Outlook Express?  I have Microsoft's ActiveSynch software and it only sync's with Outlook 2000 which doesn't help because that's not the email client I use.  I use Express because 2000 doesn't support hotmail as well as Outlook Express does.  So if anyone can point me to a software solution that would take care of this please let me know.  It'd be nice to be able to keep my contacts up to date without having to manually export the address book and make a composite.  BTW I'm using Microsoft Windows XP. 

On TechTV's The Screen Savers yesterday they went over the Microsoft Windows netsend command.  They called this a bug and a security hole that needed to be patched.  This command is there for system administrators to send communications to computers without needing to bother with emails.  Now granted that on XP home it should be disabled by default instead of enabled this is still not a bug.  They sent a report into Microsoft telling them about the problem to which they replied much of what I just said.  Still Leo maintained that this was a bug and not a feature.  This command has been documented since before 2000 was released and were it a bug would have been fixed long ago.  I think TechTV should have been less critical in this case of Microsoft and simply stated that it should have been turned off by default and then showed users how instead of maintaining that it was a security hole that needed to be patched.  That's just my $0.02.
