I've used the synchronise files in a small way on my bosses laptop... it
works ok, although it's not really all that quick to synchronise, and it
also manages to fail synchronising some files (especially Thumbs.db). I'm
tempted to investigate rsync use instead, as I'm sure that would be
quicker and less intrusive.
