I have been considering many different mac purchases for a couple weeks, and now I think I've found an ideal combo: iMac with MB.

However, I want to synchronize both computers. I have no experience whatsoever with such programs. Here is what I am hope to have:

Be able to set up a wireless computer-to-computer network with my iMac.
Have my MB automatically connect to that network whenever I'm in range.
Have the MB automatically copy all revised files (since last upload) to the iMac.
Have the iMac automatically copy all revised files to the MB.

I want to have the MB for general use, then the iMac for general use, gaming, and heavier use. I definitely want both computers to have the same set of files (apart from games, photoshop, etc. that I can settle on a large partition on the iMac) because I don't want to have to scrounge around for a certain MS Word file, chat log, image, etc.

Is there a program out there than can do what I'm looking for? I want a very easy, preferably automatic method for synchronizing files between two computers.
