That makes much more sense to me than Ashley's approach…now if they would only allow iTunes IDs to be combined life would be good. My wife and I both have Apple IDs (family pack, mine was the master and hers was a sub-account). I've converted mine to iCloud and hers will get converted later. We have both bought apps on our IDs; I would love to combine both of those into a third ID so that we could have a shared ID for purchases and separate IDs for mail/contacts/calendar. I have to believe that there isn't any real technical reason this couldn't be done which means that either there was a marketing decision against it or they just haven't gotten around to fixing it yet. Would also be nice if the iWork document formats were aligned so that the same document would open on both iPad and Mac…that would allow easy sync of documents back and forth without having to do the download/upload sequence to edit on the Mac. Of course . . .that would also keep from having a local copy if it was only stored on iCloud I guess…a better solution would be to allow iOS apps direct read/write to/from DropBox since it already has the inter-computer sync built in. ----------------------------------------------- There are only three kinds of stress; your basic nuclear stress, cooking stress, and A$$hole stress.
