       you took all my puns away ...
           I haven't any more; but ne'er fear,
           the punster will re-appear  ;-)

       And, by the way, I really haven't learned what rsync is - I guess I
could 'search' and learn  ;-)

      I think i are sinking fast ...

sink  vb sinks, sinking, sank ; sunk, sunken


you are probably just joshing around but 'sync' has nothing to do with
'sink'; one is germanic, the other is greek.

'syn'+'chronos' as in 'synchronize'.

sometimes the spelling of words, like the syntax of directory paths,
matters.

(and 'syntax' has nothing to do with 'sin' or 'taxes'!)

'rsync' is a great utility; I assume it's available for Windows but I
don't know but there's certainly equivalent stuff.
