Carey, one final question on this. Can I make a briefcase of a briefcase?
In other words, I want my home computer as the master, my laptop as the
briefcase, and then I have a work computer that I'd like to keep in synch.
So I am thinking of doing a briefcase from the home desktop to the laptop,
and then am wondering if the work briefcase will be able to link off of the
laptop briefcase.

Thx for reading all of this.
