I posted this stoopid question several days ago, but got no answer, either because it got lost in the ether or truly was stoopid:
I have two Macs – one is a Power Mac G4 desktop, the other is a MacBook laptop. Although they were purchased about a year apart, they appear to be essentially the same, at least functionwise. I'm sure they have some different stuff "under the hood," but they're fully compatible. They are positioned about forty feet apart, desktop in my study and the laptop several doors away, in the bedroom mounted on what is known as an "AirDesk." Both have Dropbox installed. I consider the desktop the "master" and the laptop the "satellite." I try to keep them paired-up file-wise, but the laptop invariably falls behind – now *way *behind. My question: can I simply erase the hd on the laptop and start over, by putting the "master" hd in Dropbox and expecting it to show up on the "satellite"? If not, can the "master" files be transferred by some other means – memory stick, whatever. The "master" has an external drive which is essentially up-to-date; might it be used to make the transfer? Any advice will be most appreciated. Nolan
