Doug;

As I too use several desktops in several locations AND two notebooks and 
rely heavily on my bookmarks, which are carefully organized and 
categorized, I've had my fair share of keeping them sync'ed.  Usually 
without much luck.

I've tried numerous products and techniques and believe it or not the 
ONLY ONE that finally fulfilled my needs was the firefox bookmark 
synchronizer from google (labs.google.com).  I created a a free "gmail" 
account then installed this extension in my browser and pointed it to 
this gmail account and from that point on my bookmarks are all 
synchronized in real time.

In fact, I often have multiple desktops open with my firefox browsers at 
the same time and if I make a bookmark change on one of the machines and 
swivel around to the other and check my bookmarks, the change is 
there!!!  Hard to beat.

And, its free.  Just my $0.02 cents but its worth trying out.  Oh, and 
the link and the storage of info is encrypted to prevent prying eyes 
(hear that George?).

Good luck.
