Hello,
I'd be interested in trying separate OS Accounts if that would allow me to
sync my address books with .mac completely separately.
Under "switch identity" I only sync'ed one of my address books because I
wanted completely separate ones and feared they would get scrambled into one
giant list. But it's possible I don't completely understand sync'ing.
I'm also unfamiliar with OS accounts - and found "switch identity" very fast
and convenient for my multiple businesses. It seems to me that the words
"Folders on My Computer" don't mean much. It would be much more useful to
say "Folders in "X" Identity"
