My own opinion (take it or leave it) -
I seldom use the connectivity pack except for one major use. The windows
version prints out the phonebook, notepad, and appointment book better and
faster than just the Omnigo and serial/parallel cable. I use the Omnigo for all
of my scheduling and data archiving and retrieving. Fear of connectivity
problems and data loss discourages my use of hotsynching, so I only use the
connectivity pack for hard copy printing.
