I have a need. Call me
strange for having so many
computers or computer like devices but I don’t think I am
alone here. I need to
get all my contacts, emails, etc all stored in a central place. Why?
Because
when disaster strikes what do you have left?
Yesterday my
office computer broke. I
don’t know how it happened and
yes it’s under warranty but not having an office desktop
sucks. I don’t mind
working on my laptop and luckily I have one but it’s not the
same as typing on
a desktop. It also doesn’t have all the goodies I am used to.
I thought I would
be ok without the office computer working until it just dawned on me.
All my
contact info is inside my office computer. All my saved emails. I am
always the
one preaching backup your stuff and my documents are secured for the
most part.
In fact I didn’t lose any data I just can’t turn on
the computer without a
working motherboard. But I need access to my contacts and without that
working I
am out of luck.
But you see why
I am out of luck is
what I am getting at with this post. Microsoft
sucks at syncing your information across multiple
computers. There is no reason with internet access why I
don’t have a complete
list of all my contacts and emails on every computer I own. You see
that’s where
Google takes off and is great. They store that data in a central
location, it’s
not computer specific unlike Microsoft which doesn’t seem to
get why this is
important. Yet using Gmail as a CMS doesn’t work as well as
Outlook. It’s a catch
22 and I am caught in the middle. Google did release a sync for
calendar items
and also recently a way to sync the contacts but it’s still
not the same thing
as having this data spread across every computer I have. I want my
computer to
act as a terminal to the central information. If I make a change it
goes across
all my computers. If I hook my phone up to this I want it there too.
Why can’t
we have this technology and why is it taking so long for this to
happen? I can’t
believe that its 2009 and we would have to manually enter contact
information
in each version of Outlook we use. Come on.
Luckily all my phone numbers are
stored in my phone. If that breaks I am out of business! Scary...
