I keep my address book on my desktop and want to keep it in sync with my laptop. Other than copying it over manually is there a way to sync them automatically?

Thanks,

For occasional use, I'd export it/them to LDIF files and import it/them on the travelling machine.

Or use a network shared address book; Google Contacts and the Thunderbird add-on gContactSync work well for me.

All that looked a bit to technical. I'm only trying to move my "master" address book on my desktop to my laptop when I'm traveling. What file or files do I place on a thumb drive and where are they?

Thanks,

I like the idea of Export/Import the LDIF files; simple, straight forward and easy.
