Who's confused? I think Marta may be right about what I want, but I don't know exactly how to do it. Does it involve MobileMe or Airport? When I go to "Connect to Server, " I get a box which wants to know "Server Address," about which I know nothing. (It also asks for "Favorite Servers," which in my case I suppose would be Google ??)
John supports Airport, which I like, based on what I've read on the Airport website. Now Jonathan suggests DropBox, which seems to be more powerful and, best of all, is free. Essentially, what I want is the ability to have my two Macs synched so that whatever files apppear on one will appear on the other. I have no problem with apps; the new MacBook arrived while I was in the hospital, and my wife, bless her heart, transferred *everything* on the desktop computer to the new laptop. So the laptop has, essentially, all the apps I need. But other things have changed since then, not only with files but also bookmarks, which I use a great deal for research If there has to be a "master" and a "drone," then the desktop would be the master and the laptop the drone. But I'm hoping for a way to connect them so they'll both be identical. At this point, I'm going to contact John off-line and see what further advice he can offer about Airport. Meanwhile grateful thanks to Marta, Jonathan, and others who chimed in on this matter. As Mickey Mouse (or was it MacArthur?) once said, "I shall return." Nolan
