[QUOTE="dustonio, post: 192520"] I'm going to graduate school and will be taking two computers with me. I'll be using my 15" PowerBook for classroom work and for working on group projects. I will also have a MacMini in my dorm room, which will be hooked up to a 23" Cinema Display. The PowerBook will be my main computer, but I prefer working from the MacMini because of the larger screen, which will always be connected to it. (I *could* theoretically connect/disconnect my PB to the Cinema Display, but I don't want the hassle.) Here is my dilemma. I would like to use both computers to access the same files, although never simultaneously. I already have a .Mac account so I guess I could use iDisk to access the files, but I was wondering if there are alternative solutions that I didn't consider. One idea I had was to use the MacMini as a client of the PowerBook and work off the files from the PB wirelessly. The downside of depending on iDisk is that I would not be able to access the files unless I was connected to the internet. [/QUOTE]
