i have been using my rex5 for 10 years and have a spare one and
leather case in case this one is lost. winxp on my toshiba portege
syncs through slipping it into the old style slot on the side. it
was a bit of a challenge figuring out how to get it work and sync. i
may not be able to do it again...lol. rex 5 has been wonderful but
the ability to further move up to office 7 and vista are probably not
in the cards. when my laptop dies.....i guess i'll have to come into
the 21 century myself. if anyone can tell me that it works with
vista and how to connect it....i'll sure give it a try.
