I am working with outlook on two differnt computers (one a lop top and
one a desk top)  They both run XP.  I would like to merge and keep
updating the contacts and calendars.  So that I take my laptop to
work, make appointments and then come home and syncronize them with
out retyping everythng
The computers are not networked

I read the following from www.BetaNews.com
which might be helpful:

EZOutlookSync will keep 2 or more copies of MS Outlook always
up-to-date. It will transfer only changed data, making
synchronizations quick and unobtrusive. Works on Outlook 2000, 2002,
and 2003. You can also transfer data from one MS Outlook Installation
to another, make backups and restore data- all using straightforward
wizard that will get your data processed in 3 simple steps.

that is wonderful and sounds like what I need-- I will look into it
