Is anyone using iDisk to store their xCode projects? I'm using 2

not be determined." and forces me to manually save a new copy of my
nib file.
Does anybody have the same experience or a better one?
That sounds like a nightmare waiting to happen - consider a scenario
where you have a file modified on one computer but not synced, and
then you sit down at the other computer to work and change that file,
losing all the changes on the first computer -- and probably not even
realizing it.
Fortunately, this is an old problem, and one that there are several
tools to solve. You might want to investigate some sort of version
control system like Subversion, Perforce, or CVS, all of which Xcode
supports. If you don't have the knowledge, inclination, or
persistent network you need to host your own server, you might look
into paying someone to do it for you -- a Google search for
"subversion hosting" turned up a couple pages of hits, mostly of
companies offering that service.
(My own preference is Subversion, mainly because it solves a couple
of the things about CVS that really annoyed me, and I'm too cheap and
too optimistic [of *course* I'll need more than two developers on
this project! someday!] to investigate Perforce. Any of them would
be a reasonable solution to your problem, though.)
