I found another software title I liked for free after MIR, so no charge on the shipping for me :D

Here is a good [URL=http://www.aximsite.com/boards/showthread.php?s=&threadid=3944&highlight=Microsoft+Plus+Digital+Media+Edition]review[/URL] on what Microsoft Plus! Digital Media Edition can do for your Axim.

Nothing like checking the [URL=http://www.microsoft.com/windows/plus/dme/Sys_Req.asp]System Requirements[/URL] after you place the order :rolling:

Operating system
Requirement: Microsoft Windows® XP

Too bad :sad: ... I cancelled my order, as I run Win2000.

I suppose the [URL=http://www.microsoft.com/windows/plus/dme/portabledevices.asp]Plus! Sync & Go for Pocket PC[/URL] is not of much use without the desktop component installed. Can anyone verify?

I bought this software at CompUSA for $4.99 a few weeks ago. I checked the system requirments and I'm running Windows 98 SE. I thought I would take a chance trying to use it on the wrong OS. During the install, it knew I didn't have XP, so it didn't even install.

I don't think you could get the Sync and Go on your Axim without having XP to install the software on. I'm going to save it when I upgrade to XP someday. :sad:

Its actually only free if you buy Windows XP or the upgrade at amazon.com

No such requirement ... read if for yourself
