My experience with Clone has been an unfortunate one so far, and I want to warn you to be careful. It did not restore everything that should have been copied to it across two Dell Axim X50v’s. Let me say that I am a big fan of SPB Software and have written many favorable reviews, but this Clone thing has me as flustered as a wet cat.
When I sent a query to the company explaining my quandary step by step, the response was, “Read the manual.” I hope the person who penned that thoughtful reply will have a short career in the technical support business. I had already read the manual, and it did not address any of my issues.
Oh well, I thought, I’ll just forget about it, move on, and restore my original system backed up on a Proporta backup SD card. Not. When I put the card in the slot, it’s supposed to start up automatically. Guess what started up automatically? Yup, it was Clone. But, how could that be? I had removed it. So, I went into the registry and deleted every instance I could find that had anything to do with Clone.
There, that should do it. I did a soft reset just to make sure, plugged in the Proporta restore card, and sure enough, up comes Clone. How could that be? Well, no problem, I’ll just do a hard reset, that will fix it, and then I can restore the system from the SD card.
Omigod! Clone was still there after a HARD reset like the worst cancer after radiation. Clone is an evil virus, and I caution you about using it.
I’ve apprised SPB of my dilemma and await their response hoping they have a fix. Meanwhile I remain infected and unable to expunge this malicious phantasm that haunts my handheld. Maybe I’ll try to find a priest this afternoon and have him perform an exorcism. I’ll let you know how it turns out.

Products in Preposterous Proportions from Proporta
Proporta Axim X50 Case
It seems Proporta never stops adding to its repertoire of cases. This new aluminum reinforced leather case for the new Axim X50 series in a welcome addition.
In my review, I argue that the flip top case has many advantages over other types of cases. To find out why, and for a full review of this case, please visit PocketAnywhere at www.pocketanywhere.com.
Proporta 3-in-1 Stylus for Axim X50
The problem with being on the cutting edge is that it may take a while for the world to catch up with you and you do not always have all the appurtenances you may wish at your immediate disposal. That has certainly been the case with the Dell Axim X50. Now we are beginning to see cases, keyboards, and styli emerging for the X50, and it’s about time.
In a review of the new 3-in-1 stylus by Proporta for the X50, I extol its virtues and vices. To see the review, please go to www.pocketanywhere.com. It should be available shortly.
