Computing in the cloud
James Fallows describes how he has achieved a
… completely machine-independent computing life. I have three computers I use interchangeably — desktop and two laptops – and (with a few minor exceptions that I’ll note) I no longer have to worry about which laptop I should take to a downtown office or on a trip, or which machine has the "current" version of a file. Conceptually this sounds banal and so-last-year. In reality I’ve found it surprisingly stress-reducing never to have to think about where my info "is," since it’s wherever I want it to be. And I think I’ve learned the right way to combine SugarSync and DropBox.
