I'm considering upgrading / replacing my current development environment
with a dual development MacBook + iMac setup. Why? The new iMacs are so
damn sexy, and you can get so much more RAM and power for a much lower
price.  Currently I use a laptop and just take it with me everywhere. When
I'm at work I plug it into a dual monitor + external keyboard/mouse setup.

What I'm considering is buying an iMac for the office, which would become
my primary workhorse for routine work. This gives me the option of adding a
second Thuderbolt display, and going to 32 gigs of RAM. But I do
development often enough on my laptop, and I don't want to totally get rid
of it, and I don't want to have to maintain both development
environments separately  So I am looking at ways to mirror my entire
development environment across both machines...

I've thought about using DropBox or a similar service to mirror parts of
the drives. I *think* I can get Railo running entirely this way, and I
think I can have Apache's config files point to a location in DropBox as
well. The database files might even be okay in there. I do have the 100Gig
plan on Dropbox, so there's plenty of room.

Anyone tried anything like this? Experiences?
