It's not hear yet, but if it works the way I think it's going to work, this will be pretty cool.

There's already a mac-only program that does this, although i don't remember hte name of it offhand. Having one mac, i haven't used it, but i've heard good things. I'll see if i can find it.


Oh, and stardock is evil. their apps hoard RAM like nothing else. For a while when i was still PC-only, i tried out WindowBlinds or whatever it's called and it used more memory than photoshop all the time.


here you go: Teleport

Edit: Damn, beat me to it by a few seconds!

There's already a couple of apps that do what I think this does:

http://macupdate.com/info.php/id/12712

Haven't tried them because I only have one computer, but they sound cool and have good reviews.

Can anyone assist me in setting up the Synergy server on my Mac? I tried for a few hours to get it to work but no luck.

The Windows GUI server app works fine, I just run the client on my mac with the Windows box IP address as the server name.

ARGH! I was working on a little freeware app with that name. Now I'll have to think of something else...

Ticking sound coming from a .pkg package? Don't let the .bom go off! Inspect it first with Pacifist. Macworld - five mice!

Nah, the reason it was funny was because the app had to do with doing a bunch of stuff at once. Oh well.

Unless this is your website, I just found another application entitled Synergy. This time, an iTunes menubar controller: http://wincent.com/a/products/synergy-classic/

Didn't he mean multiplicity? Oh but Synergy and Multiplicity can be taken to do several things at once.

But Chuckit's right, Mr Mom would be good - Mum's can always do thousands of things at once!

You could call it schizophrenic, but you might get complaints...
