I cannot say whether unison is the best solution, but it is one that I have been using for 7 years or more, between two desktops (home and work), a laptop an external hard drive and another offsite backup. These were on a variety of filesystems between Linux and Windows flavours. MacOS X should be no different.
While I have seen graphical interfaces to unison, the command line interface is so much easier to use.
I would definitely recommend unison... while it is not a revision control system it is an effective solution at working on the same set of files wherever you are provided you synchronise twice a day.

Hey! I read the link last week when the rant was first linked to from/. I just didnt allude to it in my reply. What I am saying (now) is that such a product is feasible straightaway if you're willing to read the datasheet for the chip and build it yourself... These products will be made, thats for sure, whether by German electronics companies, or Taiwanese or Korean manufacturers, but I do concede that they may not be mass-marketed in the USA in the near future. (one of the posts
further down linked to a new AIWA model for the japanese market which does however have watermarking built into it). Time will tell....
As for the 32kbps that is not ridiculous. That is what is built into the Nomad. What is ridiculous is your assumption that I am a "slashdog" and couldnt read the specifications required by the person after he stated that he needed 96kbps. Why you jumped to the conclusion that I would have suggested that the Nomad (with only a puny builtin
mic and no analog or mic input) would be suitable for this persons purposes - I really don't know ?
I hoped to bring something more to the discussion than this sort of flame exchange. I thought the information regarding this chip might be of interest. However, next time i dash off a post to/. before running off for an appointment I'll try make and sure I dont generate this ill-tempered response from my (seemingly) poorly and hastily chosen words.

Incidentally a friend of mine several years ago recorded deer dialect across several regions of the British Isles and Europe and did computer based voice analysis of the regional differences. It's a small world isnt it...?

Micronas, a german semiconductor company have an
MP3 encoder/decoder chip available. Expect to see products using this chip within 6-9 months....
As for products available at present, Idon't believe there are any, though the Nomad II will record voice using a built in mic at 32kbps.
On the contrary - it establishes clear links between the Basques and those Irish with predominantly Gaelic surnames as having a particular hereditary gene sequence in about 90% of the sampled population. The same gene sequence is only present in about 10% of the population throughout most of the rest of Western Europe. Those Irish with non Gaelic surnames still had a predominance of greater than 75% of males with the gene sequence.
Call them what you will but when I refer to the Celts i do not restrict myself to an Irish nationalistic view as dreamed up by those of the 18th century but a more embracing view that recognises that Celtic populations include Basques, Bretons, Cornishmen as well as some Moroccan tribes
DNA evidence can also be used to gain insight on the historical migration of populations. Histories have long indicated that the Celts were slowly driven westwards across Europe from the Urals over a period of several thousand years.
Now the remains of the Celtic populations are on the fringes of Western Europe and firm DNA evidence (published in Nature recently) seems to establish that the Irish and the Basques are the true Celtic gene pool and may be the oldest historical european racial group.
Ummm! There are better informed people than myself out there, but as I understand it Vmware will not cut the mustard in this instance.
Vmware requires an intel CPU as it executes native x86 instructions, hence no vmware for the alpha! I would imagine the S/390 instruction set is no where close to the x86 instruction set;)
However, that doesnt stop you from using multiple instances of an x86 emulator such as Bochs running simultaneously in multiple Linux systems on your S/390. Each of these could of course run Windows 9x/2000 or NT , but it would be doing so through software emulation of the x86 instruction set.
Don't throw away old x terminals, use them with Bochs and your S/390 to have 5000 copies of windows 2000 running as an x application throughout your company!

Historic and prehistoric population migrations can also be traced through gallstone susceptibility of all things!
