Some folks make a holy grail out of knowing the innermost secret workings of their computers. Me? A computer and a screwdriver are about the same thing. They are useful tools, but I'll be damned if I know the chemical composition of the plastic used in the handle or the Rockwell hardness of the blade. I use it to tighten and loosen screws and that's all I care about it.
Now I've got a big screwdriver that is chained to my bench and a little screwdriver that I use when out in the field or on a trip. I want that little screwdriver to work just exactly like the big screwdriver at home, but when I get back home I want the little screwdriver to update the big screwdriver with all the stuff I did on the road.
Bottom line is that I want the laptop to be an absolutely identical clone of the desktop when I leave on a trip, right down to the last email messages I got before I left, and then update the desktop with the lappy stuff I did on the trip. Seems simple. Ain't
Was once upon a time a program called "ghost" that came with all of Steve Gibson's software (Spinrite etc.) but it has been reported not to work well with Win 7. Both machines have identical OS, Win 7 Pro.
Suggestions appreciated.
Thanks,
Jim
