My main computer is a desktop. Q6600 3.2 GHz, 8 GB of RAM, 8800 GT 512 MB, 500 GB HDD-it’s the one that does all the hardware-intensive stuff, as you might expect.

I just registered a Dropbox account, which I’ll probably use to sync my OneNote notebooks with my desktop and back them up in the process.

I do NOT have access to an Exchange server for my PIM data. I literally use Outlook 2007 only because Windows Mobile requires it for PIM synchronization. (My desktop would easily make a nice Exchange Server for sure, but I still have to be able to use it like a normal desktop. I could install Windows Server 2008 since I have it courtesy of DreamSpark, but I may run into issues that I wouldn’t with Vista or Win7. Why can’t they integrate basic Exchange functionality in Outlook for personal use?)

My main method of distributing data between my computers is through the home network, no third-party cloud included. My desktop often acts as a home file server since it has the largest drive by far. Everything works fine that way, even over Wi-Fi, though especially large files really call for an Ethernet connection.

It uses the USB 2.0 Easy Transfer Cable, which is the fastest way to get data on or off of a Netbook. You can quickly move gigabytes of movies, music, or other data in a matter of minutes, instead of waiting for a slow wireless connection.

And don’t worry, it handles timezone changes correctly! :)

I travel with my pendrive.. The laptop I use depends o the ocassion. My pendrive is the source always, I can use the backups in laptops for display only tof he files.

I do not trust syncronization software. I got problems in the past as I travel a lot and this software failed upon moving across timezones.
I do not like to get stuck with web storage services because you get stuck with their systems.

hold on… i think i still need to have a backup.
