I upgraded to iSync 1.1 on my desktop and laptop. Everything worked fine on my desktop, but I repeatedly got the error message

11:45:38AM     Error    Unable to get data from the server:
  A network error interrupted the connection to .Mac.
on my laptop. Puzzlement ensued. I finally tracked down the problem. Since I usually use my laptop in dial-up mode, I had "Use a network time server" turned OFF. Somehow (dead battery?), my laptop thought it was living in 1970. Fixing that fixed the problem, and now I can sync bookmarks across my machines. (Is it just me, or does Apple need to put a little more work into error messages?)
