Actually it's totally unfamiliar to me. IME there is very little in 
common between the two, little enough to simply enter by hand. I 
would not want all my personal contacts on the office machine 
(neither would my boss), and there are only a few office contacts I 
would ever need on the home machine or handheld.
But perhaps it depends on what sort of business you're in. To my 
mind, if I had that much in common, I would simply use the same 
laptop for both rather than two separate desktop machines. Perhaps 
that's too black & white....
