Good example.
In Word, if you update
two text documents separately, you are left to
choose between them at the
time when you resync. (And if you want,
you can shove one of them out of
the way somewhere and be able to
display/edit it later without
problems.)
However, in Word, the document you choose to distribute at
sync time
does not affect the subsequent operation of the program or
display of
other documents on either system. With AB, in some
circumstances,
that is not the case.
So, respectfully, it is
different than using Word.
Maybe you've never encountered this aspect
of AB, or perhaps the
procedures you've which you've gotten into the habit
of following help
you to successfully avoid it.
It's my opinion that
it would be a great advantage if all copies of AB
were "equal" at all
points in time, with out a need to consider the
multi-machine set as
"fragile" the from the moment a single machine
departs from it until the
time it is carefully resynced (without
allowing changes on any of the other
machines in the meantime).
I think it is fair for you to say that you,
personally, don't feel a
need for improvement in this area. However, I
don't think it would be
factually accurate to say that AB acts "just like
all other software"
(my words here) in this respect. It does
not.
