It's been very easy to do that. I just drop in my thumb drive, open up ON and
hit F9 (sync all notebooks). There are three computers in varying states of
data that seem to sync perfectly as needed no matter how I update them.
Forget your thumb drive? np. Just feel free to add data, add ON sections or
whever, then bring the thumb drive in tomorrow and sync it then. I wouldn't
wait too long tho, you never know it sudden becomes too much data to sync.
The challenge is that I didn't realize I should create a folder structure
ahead of time because I was just attaching files wherever they might be. I
should know better, but I didn't expect to like ON this much. Maybe I'm too
anal , but I have data going back quite a few years and it can get a
little weird if one doesn't do a little thinking ahead of time.
I'm hoping to hear from some of the others on this...
