Keep Two Computers in Sync With the Cool Drive U360
The companion notebook, or netbook, has made clear how important it can be to have a simple method to keep data on two computers in sync. There are ways to do this manually, but a simple method is always a better way to ensure that users actually put in the effort required to keep them all synced up and ready to go. The Cool Drive U360 looks to be just such a simple method.
The Cool Drive is a little USB stick device that when coupled with a simple USB cable connects two computers together for the syncing process. The flash drive has software loaded onto the stick that can copy files, keep folders synchronized and even sync Outlook data. The software works with Windows PCs running versions from Windows ME to Vista.

I use SyncToy, a free utility from Microsoft, and a thumb/USB drive to keep my My Documents folder in sync on multiple PCs and a Mac. Very simple, not that slow, and it does the job. Also use SyncToy to sync the folder to my server about once a week as well so I can share files that way if I need to.
