Best way to synchronise notebooks between computers ??

[Synapse Syndrome]

Which is the best way to synchronise notebooks between computers?

I want to update my desktop computer with what I have done on my laptop and
vice versa.

I can only think of SyncToy or Robocopy. Are there any other ways, or do
you think that using one of these is the best idea?

Cheers

And before anybody suggests using the Offline Files feature, I cannot, as I
use Fast User Switching, and I think Offline Files will only work one way.

OneNote 2007?

Assuming you network the PC and laptop, store your Notebooks on your PC and
point to them from your laptop.

When you work on the laptop without being connected to the PC, the ON files
are cached locally and the cached files store all your edits. When you next
reconnect your laptop to your PC the cached files on the laptop are two-way
synched automatically with the ON Notebooks on the PC - so edits are updated
both ways.

Ah, I never realised that 2007 has this Shared Notebook ability. The fact
that it can merge both ways is excellent, and much better than what I was
expecting to be possible. Cheers!

I use a thumb drive to store my notebook files to sync 3 computers: my home
desktop, my work laptop, and my personal tablet PC. It works flawlessly.
