I am just reading the manual for Sync Services.
On several occasions it is hinted that clients and the database
reside on the same machine, and that different machines are synced
via .mac.
But I do not see whether this is just a typical situation or a
necessary condition.
My problem:
* I have two computers with two address books which are notoriously
out of sync.
* I do not have (nor will have) a .mac account.
The question:
If I write a program to sync my address books across my computers
(connected via an Ethernet cable) - could or should I use Sync
Services ?
I've been wondering myself about how .Mac syncing works, and how
something similar might be designed. In the world of Sync Services,
your computer has a central "truth database," and each "sync client"
uses Sync Services to sync its own local data store with that central
database.
.Mac lets you synchronize the truth databases of multiple computers.
I wonder -- from the point of view of each computer, is .Mac just
another "sync client," or does it have some special magic status that
allows *it* to act as a kind of truth database, with each computer
acting as a "sync client" of *it*?
