Well, I don't think I've missed any replies, so here goes mine.

Sorry if I *did* miss a reply and this is a waste of everyone's
time!

I think you mean - can you sync at home to one computer, and then sync 
at work
with a different computer, and will you have problems.

Lets consider the situation.

Say that the Zire has items a, b, and c.  When you start, Home has none 
of the file,s
and neither does work.  You sync at home, now :

Zire     a, b, c
Home: a, b, c
Work: <empty>

Now, you go to work and sync, so work has a, b,c

Now, you change 'a' on the Zire, and sync at work:

Zire:    a1, b, c
Home: a,  b, c
Work, a1, b, c

Now, you go home and change 'b', then sync:

Zire:    a1, b1, c
Home: a1, b1, c
Work: a1, b,   c

Go back to work, change c, sync:

Zire:     a1, b1, c1
Home:  a1, b1, c
Work:  a1, b1, c1

Note that, as long as you do not change the files on home or work, you 
are pretty safe
here.  So, what happens if you start changing the files on the 'backup' 
machines (the
non-zires)?

Starting from the above, lets go home and change c there (creating c'), 
then sync.

OOPS!  We just wrote c', which loses the changes we made to get c1!

Probably not what you wanted :-)

Hope this helps, and isn't TOO far off the mark!
