The sync completes, even with Notes sync active. However, if I make any
more changes on the PC while the PDA is connected, those changes wouldn't
automatically get picked up by the PDA because AS is stalled while waiting
for me to deal with a non-existant problem. I would have to go to AS after
making the change, click the Resolve Items link, let it go through it's
motions, then I could disconnect, having a sync'd device.
