How to transfer between two notebooks?
 
I use Dell 8100 for my work. But when I travel, I like to carry light weight Sony.

But my problem is how can I syncronize these two computers, like outlook express and so on?

Help me

Work/Road: Toshiba Portege - light, as reliable as a M$ m/c can be
Home/Work: iMac 17" G4, 1Gb + 2 Lacie External Drives
Wife/Hols: iBook G4, 800Mhz, 640K, Airport Extreme
Junk/Fun: Noname PC with various Linux - currently offline.

:confused: Why is it mainly the Mac Users and Linux people that want to show off their kit?

Looking at the responses so far, one would think Apple has a greater market share than the paltry 2.2% it actually has. :D

Myself, I have
Home: Dell Desktop (ca. 1999, P4, 1.6GHz, 768MB, 40+100GB, CD-RW/DVD-ROM/DVD+/-RW drives)
Travel: PowerBook G4 12" (2003, 1GHz, 512MB, 80GB, SuperDrive.) This sucker goes everywhere I go! Also have an iPod 3G 40GB.

I use a nifty little program called ChronoSync to synchronize files between the Dell and the PowerBook.

I'm seriously thinking of getting the new iMac G5 next January but would like to see double-layer SuperDrive. Anybody have any insight as to when this might happen?

... because being rich, smart, good-looking, a Mac-user and a reader of the Travel Technology forum on FlyerTalk are all directly correlated? :cool: :D

I alwys thought it was because they didn't know better; until they read this forum? :D

Poor poor Mac users don't know what they are missing with Windows :D

The thing about Macs is that I don't like that they don't have a mouse with a right mouse button!

There have been 3 button Mac compatible mice since 1992.
