Folder syncing between computers: I’ve been using and loving Dropbox. Clients for Windows, Mac & Linux. Completely free for up to 2gigs of data. Or $99/year for 50gigs. I’m using the free account with no issues.

Try the IE 8 Beta, It is great. It has many of the things you spoke of Google Chrome. Plus my new favorite tool Color Coded tabs to relate what tabs came from what other open tabs.

Mozy (mozy.com) is a good resource for file sync’ing that you might recommend to that client. It seems to be a pretty seamless solution that I’ve been playing around with. $4.95 gets you completely unlimited storage space that you can sync as many computers as you want to it. Just download the Mozy application on all your machines. You can even have it schedule backups and whatnot whenever you please.
It’s more of a backup solution than syncing between two machines or more, but it’s a pretty good solution that’s cheap if you’re doing something light.

We are phasing out all our pro5 and 5.5 right now with dell optiplex 755 ultra small form factor with the all-in-one stands. The Dells are great workhorses. Our Pro5.5 are not “dropping like flies” but the are slow and over 3 years old.

I finally got a chance to listen to this episode today and was glad to hear about Google Chrome as I just started playing with last week. However, at first I thought it had a small memory footprint also, but looking in Task Manager I found two chrome.exe processes running on startup. Then for each tab I would open, it would start another process. Finally, with three tabs running, the total memory used was around 70,000 K. I opened the same websites in three tabs in Firefox, and the footprint was around 30,000 K.
Otherwise, I’m liking it. I started using it when, after installing the latest patch, Firefox began to lock up on me.
As always, enjoyed the podcast! It is one of the few that I still listen to – keep up the good work!
