This Thursday's edition of Answers to Questions contains a detailed review of PCLaw used in conjunction with Time Matters and the Treo 600. In the meantime, TechnoLawyer member Peter Conway offers this Quip on the same topic: "I have been using PC Law for a number of years and a Treo 180 and now Treo 600 for the past few years. I had PCLaw help me set up the synchronization link and it has worked just fine. I only enter a handful of timeslips into the Treo each month (generally when I am in court)."
