One of the most inconvenient things about working on computers is keeping all of your data files current.  I have my main workhorse, the 24″ iMac, and the Macbook for taking it on the road or doing presentations.  Both are set up almost identically as far as server and software configurations.  The hassle comes when I’ve been working all day on a project from my home office, and then I get a call to drive up to the main office 2.5 hours away.  Then, my work files have been updated one one machine, but not the other.  Sometimes I’ve made changes to a number of projects, and it’s hard to keep track of which files to copy over.  Usually I would fire up Chronosync, and run it on my “Sites” folder so both machines would be up to date.  If I remember.
