HI Julie, I have two laptops now though the Dell is really more of a portable desktop weighing just over 9 lbs. I am now using that just for business. My Little Sony is my main computer so I don't have to sync. IT can be a little tricky. I know there is an option to sync computers across a USB or Ethernet cable though I haven't played with it much. This might be a cheep solution in the short run. This option is available in Winxp. And congrats on the new laptop! They are really wonderful. Over my 16 years of computing I have mostly used laptops and love them!

Aren't they great? I love mine. We also have a desktop, but my husband uses that, so I use this pretty much exclusively and don't have the problem of keeping files organized between the two computers, but I can well understand what you mean about the freedom you now have! <smile> Take care.

It was a complete surprise! For those of you who validate using 2 computers, how do you manage your files so that the most current is always available for you to work on? I guess I'm asking you how you keep your work organized so that you don't waste time trying to figure out which version of which file you have and where the file is located. Now that I have a laptop, I can actually work on validation during the day, when I'm waiting at the doctor's office, or even outside on my porch swing. I've never had freedom like this. I like that a lot. (grin) My desktop computer is in my bedroom, and I was limited by needing to work in there. Now I have a lot more flexibility, and yet I need to find a good way to keep my work organized. I know myself well enough to know that the potential for chaos is just around the corner if I don't stay on the ball. Thanks for any help you all can offer.
