And Fruux is in beta but looks the most promising:

thanks for all the suggestions.
It seems my choices may involve some terminal window stuff (i don't wish to go there yet) or and external programme. Fruux looks pretty cool. I wonder, once they come out of beta, if they will start charging? Still, good on them. I may go this route. I am definately more enlightened about .mac / mobile me now.
Has anyone running Fruux had any 10.5.6 issues. I've had none to date.

Don't know about Fruux, but I do know 10.5.6 has had issues of its own:
