It took me awhile to get used to the "one-bucket" system at first, but once I did, it is now second nature. I prefer having everything in one place now.
However, I would still like it if you could have more than one YJ library at a time (and sync them all over a single dotmac account) so that my wife and I could have separate buckets. Given that individulal dotmac accounts are probably very often used by families of users, this seems a reasonable idea. I'd even be willing to pay for a second license to do so. aj On Dec 11, 2007 8:32 AM, Steve Kalkwarf <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > >Here's my question about Yojiimbo.
