Now that we'll all have 2-3 Macs, how do we sync them

I myself use MobileMe! its a great addon if u own many macs and it syncs everything from my handheld iphone 4 to my mac based computers.

though im hoping for more features from MobileMe

Live mesh has one (fairly big, depending on your perspective) advantage over other solutions. You can set it up to sync existing folders in any location on your computer. It doesn't require files be located inside a special iDisk or Dropbox.

As previouly pointed out you have an unlimited sync quota between machines. Not everything has to be stored in the cloud. You also get to pick which machines get synced with which folders. And then if you wish to also sync those folders with your Sky Drive (cloud storage) you can.

Finally the Mac manager is nicely done and you can browse folders synced with your SkyDrive from anywhere via a web browser.

And in my experience it works seamlessly and automatically whilst consuming minimum system resources.

The fact it is all FREE means I definitely think you should at least take a look.

Many thanks I will, it's important that you said ti works seamlessly. Because if ms creates chaos out of my files once more, I don't know what I ll do. But it does sound fantastic the way you describe it, what mm should have been.

I wonder though how can they sync between filesystems such as hfs+ when they have ntfs...

Dropbox plus Google Sync. I ditched MobileMe after I found these two options. I could have been using push for email and contacts with Gmail for ages!

Plus a Mac server hooked up to the TV with 6TB of space makes a good storage point for all those movies and music

If I can't resist and buy the 11" air I'll have the air, a 15" i7 MBP, and a 27" iMac.

Assuming I keep them all and use them for different reasons, how do I keep my data sync'ed between them all.

Clearly I can't keep as much on the air, but I have a basic data set of docs (office type stuff, some graphics, some programming) that I'd like to be the same on all the machines.

External hard drive.
