[X4U] Sync and .Mac with multiple computers

[Neil Laubenthal]

I'm wondering if anybody has tried this before I work on reinventing  
the wheel.

At home we've got his and hers laptops with a single .Mac account. His  
laptop is set up for Both of us have PDAs that sync Address Book and  
iCal data.

The trouble is that I can't see her calendar and vice versa.

What I would like to do is set up both laptops to sync to the same  
.Mac account so that both his data and hers data would get synced to  
.Mac. We can then subscribe to each other's calendar. Does anybody  
know if this will work . . . or do the two sets of data get merged  
into a single copy on the .Mac account.

 From a technical standpoint I can't see any reason it couldn't be  
made to work (assuming that Apple wrote the software that way); but  
from a business perspective I can see how they might prevent it from  
working so they can sell you family pack.

Himself and herself don't want a merged set of Address Book and iCal  
data . . . we just want to be able to see each other's calendar.

I've read about setting up a Calendar Server using  
http://trac.calendarserver.org/projects/calendarserver but I'm not  
sure I want to go that far down the do-it-yourself path . . .it would  
be simpler and easier to buy a .Mac family pack but there's no reason  
to pay for one if it will work with a single account.
