Home Network 2.0: Synchronized Computing

Like big businesses, many households now have several computers running on a single network. But the methods used by corporations to make files and programs accessible from computer to computer are probably not something most people want to try at home. In many cases, companies keep their computers in sync by using centralized servers to store information, an approach that may be too much bother for home users. And software designed for corporate use is usually priced for corporate budgets.

But for consumers who open their laptop on the road only to find that a critical file is back at home - or who are frustrated by having different sets of contacts and browser bookmarks on every computer they use - there are some simple alternatives. They take somewhat different approaches to the job, but all use the Internet to some degree, and are best put to use with a high-speed connection.
