-- How many of you use Serial / USB cradle (http://discussion.visorcentral.com/vcforum/showthread.php?threadid=1471)

I just wondering how many of you use Serial cradle and how many use USB cradle.

I use Serial cradle (my desktop doesn't support USB).

USB at home.
Serial at work( Running NT)

USB port by default, and by choice if I had one... Being that the USB port is 5 times faster, I'd say this is a major selling point for the Visor, esp. if you synch a lot and use AvantGo or do other web-synching activities. (Another point is the springboard port as I find the backup module essential for peace-of-mind and convenience that allows me to stay away longer from my desktop pc.)

I think the general tendency is a desire for speed, so even a firewire (ieee 1394) transfer rate, if possible, would find a significant market.

All these guys have no game, I wish I would have stayed

serial on my older desktop, usb on my notebook.

Bought a serial with my VDX so I could use it with Win95 at home.

Until I upgraded from NT to 2000 at work, the USB gathered dust. Now I use USB at work.

USB: Win98

What the Heck! It's what I want!

Home: USB and Serial on my G4, the Serial cradle is reqired for development work.

Work: Serial - Windows 98

I use serial at work (NT) and USB at home (Win2000). I sure wish I could reverse the two as work has a smokin' fast internet connection and it would cut down on AvantGo's download time.

Now: Serial on a G3 upgraded PowerMac 6100/66

After I get a new Dual 500MHz G4: USB

Home: Serial on Linux
Work: USB on Linux (with 2.4 USB code backport)

USB on Win 98 at home and work

USB on Desktop Win98 2nd ed, and USB on notebook running Win98 2nd also. As a side note it sure seems faster than using the serial port when I use my CE device!!

Laptop: Win98, USB
At home: will use Linux, USB (because system is running Win95 OSR2 and I don't have a serial cradle)

Currently I am only using my laptop b/c I am living abroad (without my desktop PC).

serial at home - Windows 98, but too
cheap to add a USB board
serial at work - Windows NT on laptop

USB cradle sits in box just waiting to get put to use

I just ordered my first VDX yesterday (can't wait!). I have a 4 yr old Pentium 133 running Win95 at home (I know, I know...), so I had to order the serial cradle in order to be able to synch to my Yahoo! calendar.

Can anyone tell me what I should expect in terms of synch time/functionality? Especially anyone who uses the Yahoo! online calendar? Thanks!
