Then at some later point I pick up my laptop and immediately after opening it up I get the same reminders (fair enough) and snooze them too. A minute later, after my laptop has synced I get a popup informing me of the clash of snoozed times, which I have to resolve and re-sync. I play this game all day, with sync conflicts ping-ponging between the two machines. It&#39;s completely ridiculous.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/justthesam.com\/wp-content\/tp\/6a00e5550e015888340115708d921b970b\" onclick=\"window.open( this.href, &#39;_blank&#39;, &#39;width=640,height=480,scrollbars=no,resizable=no,toolbar=no,directories=no,location=no,menubar=no,status=no,left=0,top=0&#39; ); return false\" style=\"display: inline;\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Picture 7\" class=\"at-xid-6a00e5550e015888340115708d921b970b \" src=\"http:\/\/justthesam.com\/wp-content\/tp\/6a00e5550e015888340115708d921b970b-400wi\" style=\"width: 400px; \" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<div> What would I prefer?
