Hey Jonathan, Glad you mentioned the slowness of LIRE loading, I thought it was just me being to impatient with it. I have been impressed with the developer's improvements with VO, but I to don't like that it doesn't sync with a desktop client and the slowness of opening folders and feeds is going to get old pretty soon. Please do let us know if you come across anything else with speed and that syncs. Thanks On Jul 6, 2013, at 4:57 PM, Jonathan Mosen <jmo...@mosen.org> wrote:
