The libraries are all around 1.5 TB up also there are a few of them.The server idea is kinda what I'm doing I got real tired of all those damn externals all over the place so I'm now using a PM G5 Dual 2.7 with 10 TBs to do the storage But most of the time I use the MBP or one of the Cubes to work with I want to be able to sync from where ever I am at the time. I tried the Mobile Me thing but way too slow. I,m at the moment giving Cronosync a try like Chance recommended maybe it will do the trick. I have a lot of machines that I use in any given day, mostly because I can, and it gives me something to do on the weekends fixing WIFU during the week.:-) John Carmonne Yorba Linda USA Sent from my MBP -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
