I used to have a laptop, but when my husband went back to graduate school he commandeered it. Thus I'm relegated to using my work PC, a loaner tablet PC, sometimes the “family" laptop, and sometimes the "family" PC. For an organization buff like myself I hate feeling so scattered, thus I’m searching for the best solution for a seamless transition between computers that is also FREE. I have found three that work:
- Netvibes is my favorite utility. I can just sign in on any computer and have access to my bookmarks, files I store on Box.net storage, my RSS feeds (with people magazine & NPR Books near the top of the list!), my calendar stored on airset.com, to do lists, and even weather and e-mail. My two runnerup choices are
- "Personalized Google"
- Goowy
There are many others though – Let me know what you think!:
- 24eyes
- eskobo
- Favoor
- Feed Pile
- fyuze
- Inbox
- Live / Windows Live
- MyWebDesktop
- Pageflakes
- Protopage
- Start.com
- My Yahoo

Hm, have you tried Pageflakes yet? I see that you lits NV, Goowy and Google/IG – I was just wondering if you have any suggestions how we could improve to make it to your list.
Thanks

Windows Live is really nice but it takes a long time, it seems like. It drags a little.
Why can’t you network your computers? Then you’ll feel like you are on all the same computer.
My yahoo is really nice. I use that a lot and it is easier than Windows Live, but not as complete. If you are just interested in files, then my yahoo works.
