PENGUIRL I would love to try fruux but cannot because it's Leopard only. Leopard is fine for some people, but for me it is bloatware that reduces the efficiency of my PPC Macs. Only supporting one OS version is not good IMO, are all the Leopard users going to be left behind when Snow Leopard comes out?

SESQUIPEDALIAN Many of the forms of data fruux syncs is implemented completely differently in Leopard than it was in Tiger. The fruux team would have to write what would amount to an entirely new application in order to work with Tiger. So in effect what you are saying to the developers is "Hey, you guys should reduplicate all the many man-hours of work you've done so that you can cater to my refusal to meet the system requirements of your software. Clearly your time and energy are so worthless compared to mine that I think you should do this—for free—so that I don't need to spend any money on anything."

PENGUIRL No that is not what I'm saying, that is what you choose to see. What I'm saying is that if a developer chooses to support only one version of an OS, then it's very possible that someone could come to rely on your product only to get left behind when the next OS upgrade comes out 18 months later. It has nothing to do with refusing to meet the system requirements of your software. I freely choose not to run Leopard because it is bloated, inefficient compared to Tiger, and I am in the exact reverse scenario I just described with CS 2 Premium. If I could go straight to Snow Leopard I would but CS 2 Premium runs poorly in Rosetta, if it would run on 10.6 at all. If you choose not to support Tiger, that's your free choice. However it makes me leery of ever using any of your products, free or not. If you have an issue with that, so be it. I really don't care.

BABYFETT This program looks very interesting, but how do we know that other, more sensitive, information isn't being broadcast to the cloud?

PENGUIRL Use Little Snitch, which is a good idea in any case.

MURRYFAX Not only is fruux a very nice little applications which works seamlessly - until it doesn't. But then this company has something else to offer which is very rare, support which is rapid and to the point

MACLOVER1.1 I'd love for this to work.. but when I try synching my computers I get this error message "Cannot deserialize response dicitonary: Conversion". Whatever that means, I tried reinstalling a few times, I can usually get one synch done then the subsequent ones give me the error. SO I am giving up on Fruux, too bad it seemed to be what I was looking for... As for all the other backup stuff (Sugarsync, Oakspider, Mozy etc....) are way more than I need so I guess I'll get it all done thru various little gizmos that let me use Google as a centralized base... though I find all this a little cumbersome... beyond that no matter what one says.. MobileMe, which is too expensive for me at this point, is the only one that truly does things right and simple.

GREGR Great stuff. Address Book group syncing lets me get starting on testing this program. It looks exactly like what I need. Simple. I want to keep the AB and iCal on my two laptops in sync. Bookmark syncing isn't super necessary but I'll enjoy the bonus.

ZEUS1 Does not work behind an http proxy server. I contacted support, received an answer within minutes...They promised to look into it and try to remedy this omission.

ERUNNO Great app, also also for people who want to backup their bookmarks and calendars online and don't use Time Machine or just need to sync data between several Macs. After reinstalling my OS X it restored my bookmarks and calendar entries without a hitch. There are still some interface issues which I hope will be resolved in the upcoming versions. An auto updater is still missing so you have to manually check out Macupdate occasionally. I also haven't been able to find a way to change the password after the account has been created. Anyway, thanks to the developers for offering this service for free!

JOSHP Their claim is NOT that it's a MobileMe alternative. Here is the claim from their site itself: "Just Sync, No-frills!"

JOSHP Sorry, that was supposed to be a reply to TimTim. P.S. This program works as advertised and I am happy with it.
