Hello Scotty,
Thanks for the email.  I'm now thinking we should get a new Mac laptop. I saw the eBay prices and it's not worth the savings!   My kids need to do school work on the computer, and I'm no help on the PC.  Can we easily sink the laptop with the desktop? If we download pictures on the laptop or do a Numbers document would that transfer easily?
Thanks for your help!

So there is no really reliable way to sync pictures from one iphoto library to another. Yes, there is software out there that claims to do it. But it’s not ready for me to recommend yet. Too many problems. So in my opinion, no, iphoto won’t sync but iTunes and other data will. Contacts, Calendar will sync via mobileme. You can use Dropbox to sync files like documents. Pretty easy.
