Can I keep two different computers in sync?

[arnaud]

Hello Dave, hello everyone.

I'm not starting a new thread since I have the same question (almost).

I have a brand new black MacBook which is now my main computer at home.
I still have my Powerbook 12" that I still carry to work, because of its size and I don't have a protective sleeve for the MacBook yet.

I would like this Powerbook as "synced" as possible to my MacBook.

I understand that "syncing" per se is not a feature of SuperDuper!
I was considering using Chronosync or other apps, but it appeared to me that a "full sync" between a PowerPC and a Macintel would not necessarily be a good idea, because of the different versions of the Applications (and of the System itself).

So I changed my mind and still consider using SD!

What would you say Dave if I'd do this : connect my Powerbook to my MacBook via firewire and start it in Target Mode.
Launch SD! and choose to BackUp User Files - Smart Update.

Do you think 1° it's a good strategy ? 2° the best one to keep two computers as similar as possible ?

Thank you so much (as always)
