Thought I would start a thread about things we have found re: computer technology that actually work and make our life better in some way. Maybe like some of the firefox add-ons spoken of on another thread.

It doesn't need to be something unique, but sometimes one of us doesn't know about something another uses all the time.

So to start, I am always looking for simple ways to synchronize my desktop and laptop. So I have found these helpful and free:

WindowsLive Mesh -- it is a beta program of Microsoft for "cloud" storage of files. You then install the applet on both computers, upload from one and then synch it with any number of other computers. I have been using it for over a year and after some glitches it is now running seamlessly on my two devices. (PC only)

www.mesh.com

the other is the Xmarks addon for Firefox. I use it to synchronize bookmarks on both devices.

How about you?
