I have a wireless router that allows me to use the iBook anywhere, it has an Airport card. With this and my network, I can call up the other computer and drag and drop any files I want straight into folders or desktop. I keep mail synchronized with my dotmac account. The iBook is so handy. It is only a little 12" G3 but works like a trouper! We take it on trips to download pics into, check email. I would love a new MacBook, but can't justify it yet. I used to use SychronizePro, but they are out of commission. Vicki Allwardt vallwardt at mac.com ________________________ On May 6, 2007, at 6:32 PM, Zane H.

I'd not thought about file synchronization however, that would be the sort of thing I'd be interested in. We expect my wife and oldest child to be the primary users, however, I'm also interested in using it when I'm writing, as it would allow me to sit someplace with more room, unlike this computer desk! :^) At different times, either of them will still be using the G5 2x2. My wife has already mentioned iTunes (I just turned on sharing for our private network), and I assume she'll also want to access our iPhoto library. Actually it looks like iLife '06 supports sharing an iPhoto library. :^) Is there a way to synchronize email between two systems? How about a folder of files? Zane Vicki Allwardt vallwardt at mac.com
