Sadly I don't have version control on the roster for the new chapter,
because it's a pretty advanced hack.  I love my text files, like you
do, but we're a minority.  The main complaint I got about the first
edition (especially regarding the todo.txt hack) was that it's for
"super techies," not as accessible to "regular people," whatever that
means. :)

Of course, many Lifehacker.com readers *are* super-techies, so we did
cover it on the site (Adam wrote up TortoiseSVN.)  But it won't be in
the book.

Right now in the new multiple computers chapter I've got hacks on
sharing and syncing folders between computers (localy and over the
internet), synchronizing bookmarks across computers/browsers, sharing
printers and getting Windows on your Mac with Boot Camp.
