Peril #41 of Living in a Synchronied World: No more “default behavior”

Someone asked me if an app I regularily use does a certain thing by default tonight, and I honestly couldn’t answer him. I realized that, ever since Leopard and a MobileMe update brought syncing of preferences between multiple Macs, all of my apps have behaved exactly the way I want them to between the Mac Pro and the MacBook. I haven’t had to re-set up an app in nearly a year now, so I’m forgetting how some specific features work out-of-the-box.

Technology: it is our gift, it is our curse.
