Don’t worry this is not a post about how the search for the Higg’s Boson will create a wormhole when the CERN Large Hadron Collider goes online.
More importantly, if you have a Mac desktop, and a Mac laptop, and if you use them side by side (so that you have lots of screen real estate, and when one is busy spinning colored circles waiting for a Microsoft Office application to open, you are scanning Facebook on the other) then you should check out Teleport.
It lets you use one keyboard and mouse for both machines (or more, if you’re really keen) and it lets you effortlessly cut and paste between them, and even drag files back and forth. It supports encryption and works on Leopard and Tiger, and an earlier version on Panther.
If you use it in combination with Screen Sharing on Leopard there is nothing that you cannot easily do when it comes to pasting between copmuters.
It’s donationware and since version 1.0 came out in November 2007 has been completely stable with my G5 desktop, Intel MacBook Pro, and G4 Powerbook. If you like it send Julien Robert some PayPal love.
