Sync-ing items other than AddressBook and iCal

[larry98765]

Hi All,

I recently got a .mac account and love how I can keep my AddressBook and iCal synced between my Powerbook and desktop mac. (And how it makes that info available online as well.)

Question: is there a way to keep other items synced in the same seamless way. Is there perhaps a .mac/iSync-compatible 3rd-party notebook application, for example?

Any ideas?

Thanks,

L

Is it other information you want to sync, or other devices?

iDisk is completely "synch"ed.

Ok. Well, that I can't help you with. Devices, I could, a little.

I know there is commerical software to do this, but I don't use any personally.

Thanks Brian,

Even though you don't use them, do any names of commercial software come to mind?

Intego Personal Backup lets you sync two volumes:
