mac + macbook + 2 screens, what software?

[daven1986]

hi guys, hoping you might be able to help me out here.

i have a mac with 1 screen, and a macbook attached to another screen. i wish to control them both with the same keyboard and mouse, i have found 2 programs to do this - teleport and synergy.

are there any better ones?

also i want to share data between the 2 macs, is there a way i can have a folder on my macbook and one on my desktop mac such that when they are on the same network they synchronize?

are there any other programs that may be useful in these circumstances?

thanks

daven

I think them two pieces of software are the best - I have used both in the past and think that its really hard to tell them apart they are both great apps.

You can enable sharing and use the drop box? much like Shared Folders on a Windows based system.
