OK, guys, here is the secret I read about long ago in the New York Times.....or was it the Wall St. Journal? Sometimes it does pay to read something else than this list! Yes, I think so, if they are networked), check it out for yourself....here's their intro... ""(SmartSync Pro is a backup and synchronization software that will store your important files to a different drive, removable ZIP/JAZ/CD-RW drive, network volume or just compress to zip archive. Flexible filters system and built-in scheduler lets you synchronize only the files that are necessary and only when needed. To minimize data transfer (and increase speed) only new and changed files are transferred. SmartSync Pro has a unique feature - it synchronizes files and folders even when your computers cannot be connected via local network! It is an ideal solution for those who use the same files both at home and in the office. SmartSync Pro tracks changes and additions in source files, compresses those files to the package that is transferred to the remote computer using removable disk, e-mail or FTP right from the application."" http://www.smsync.com/ Looks like the price has been increased to $35 now......

Does yours do that? If so, where do I get it? Thanks ... Jim Sower cardmarc@charter.net wrote: >Happens to everyone.
