ALLWAYSYNC trial ends; deleted

http://allwaysync.com/

Well, despite the advertisement that says “free for personal use”, I find that there is an interesting definition of “personal” use. My loveable luggable needs to disgourge its secrets each night to my home desktop via the wireless lan. Being the typical lazy guy, and after missing a few files, I thought let me consider a free utility for this duty. Google popped AllWaySync, so I looked at it first. It appeared to work ok. Although it did arm wrestle with outlook over who culd lock the pst file. It’s huge. And, it was the reason, I really got religion about backups when I had to spend the better part of a day kowtowing to redmond and reinputting all my email settings manually into LookOut when it barfed them into the bit bucket. I’m not sure I really ever really recovered from that episode. It convinces me more to leave the microsoft fold when vista comes along. Any way, allwaysync has a limit to the number of files and number of bytes you use for free. It says somehting nasty like you’re not a personal user. I am too. So off to the bit bucket with it and one to Karen’s Replicator.
