Nolan,
I read Marta's reply and she is right. You would greatly simplify
your life with just a few minor changes. It really isn't that hard
and then life becomes so much easier. I do exactly as Marta. I will
save files on my laptop at work to my desktop at home by dropping the
file into the Alias of all the folder I have on the desktop at home.
That way the laptop is not bulging with duplications of the work that
I really only want to store in one place.
If I need a file it is only a few clicks away be my location at work,
in a Hotel in Denver, in a coffee shop in Washington, or in the next
room.
If you will email me off list to:
[email protected]
I will send you an Airport Express but I need your address. I would
be very happy to help you with the difficulty you have in getting
out. I have one that is the 811.g which should do you fine. I just
set one up for a friend this past week. The little Express allows her
to connect to her Mac and both her son-in-laws are in the opposite end
of the house are each on their PC's doing their college work.
Hopefully there would be someone in your area of the world that could
help you set it up, I am in Indiana.

Thanks to John and Marta for your gracious responses to my
question. You've taken me into territory I'm not familiar with, so
I'm giving it a lot of thought. As a semi-invalid free-lance
writer, I "don't get around much anymore," so I really don't need to
synchronize iCal, Address Book, or Mail (I'm currently using google-
mail). My wife owns the only iPhone in the family. And my primary
browser is Firefox, not Safari. I use my Macs mostly for word
processing and communicating with editors. Safari may be better
than Firefox, but I tend to dance with them that brought me -- i.e.,
I'm used to Firefox and don't switch apps unless there's a dire
necessity. I also note that MobileMe is $99 per year, while for the
same amount, Airport Express is forever. But thanks again for your
suggestions; I'm still mulling over the situation.
Nolan
