sync software to the rescue
In short order we are going to be a 4 laptop family, two Dells (an Inspiron and a Mini10v) and to MacBooks. Well, one pro and one, amateur I guess. The first Dell was bought to run a particular program on (which has not seen much use of late, thanks to a human lap sitter added to the family last year). The MacBooks have been the main computers for each of us with the mini being added as a lightweight PowerPoint mule.
What I never thought of until now was how quickly we have scattered our many (MANY) digital files across the three machines and how it seems the file I want is on whatever machine I am NOT using at the moment. Hence the quest for quality and hopefully free sync software. Keep the MP3s and picture folders all organized and in one place for archive DVD burning.
No more roaming the house with a thumb drive and trying to remember which laptop or which partition it might be on, depending on it was backed up via the Time Machine, the Carbon Copier or just dragged and dropped. Think of all the free time I can reclaim? Time to tag and label the pictures as something other than DSC blah blah blah, I hope!
