I am keeping the file in Sugar Sync's Magic Briefcase which keeps the file available and in sync at all times, available to any computer I am on. Downside is you need an internet connection to be sure they are in sync. [I have had some internet connection issues in various locations on my current trip.]
Any of the cloud file sharing programs, like DropBox or Windows SkyDrive for example, would work. Be sure to keep a copy of the file on your computer. Sugar Sync does that, not sure on all the others but Windows SkyDrive does not as far as I know. > On Thu, Sep 1, 2011 at 3:11 PM, Beci and Ken <[email protected]> wrote: > >> I recently bought a laptop and can not wrap my brain around how to keep >> my most recent info on both computers.
