Right, here's the scenario: I have 2 macs - 1 is an iMac 24-inch 2.4Ghz Core 2 (320GB hard drive) with Leopard loaded and the other is a Macbook 2.16Ghz Core 2 (320GB hard drive) with Tiger loaded.
What I would like would be a way for me to have the same software and data on both computers all the time, so that when I leave my 'mothership iMac' at home and go wondering off with my 'shuttlecraft Macbook' I can do the same stuff away from home. And of course, when I return home to the mothership, I can update the iMac with stuff that was changed on the Macbook.
I'm thinking iSync or Carbon Copy Cloner would be a way of doing this, but not sure how. Also, if there was a way, could my computer's Airports speak to each other wirelessly without going via my shared home router, or would it be easier and faster to link them using an ethernet cable?
Any help appreciated.
PS - I'm aware of software licensing issues (having the same software licence on 2 computers), but lets put that aside for the minute. Also, if there is an issue with having 2 different OS's, this can be rectified by rolling the iMac back to Tiger...
Thanks
Mike
