is one always better than two
zzgavin | Oct 27 2005
Like many people I've had a desktop work mac for years and owned a PowerBook in parallel, I do 80% of my work on the PowerBook and read work email on the desktop. Swapping data between machines, even with a usb thumbdrive is such a waste of time. The pain of multiple setups expresses itself in many ways, web history; email archives; and just personal files. I'm changing jobs soon and looking forward to getting a new powerbook, so having one machine for work and home, which will be bliss. I am thinking that this will be a boon for my productivity, but am I missing something? I know a desktop has better ergonomics. but is one always best ? thanks 5 Comments

 Another way to think about...Submitted by Robert Daeley on October 27, 2005 - 3:31pm.
Another way to think about things is a client/server sort of arrangement, assuming you can access that desktop from outside the office, with the laptop accessing the desktop as if it were a server. Or, if you're comfortable with CLI tools, syncing stuff up is a snap. » POSTED IN:
