Use two external monitors with laptop!

hey guys,
been looking for an app that can do this for a long long time - finally have found one! It allows you to share your screen on a second machine to have a dual monitor setup using vnc. I know other apps similar to this exist but not ones that allow you to use with windows machines.

Check it out

Hope this is of interest to someone.

That's a great little app, never seen that before. Thanks for posting, i'm sure it will help a lot of people.

Also DJLOREY could add it to the sticky.

i am using it with tightvnc at the moment and the response time is pretty slow but it might take little bit of tweaking. I think it is more geared for using with 2 macs but it still is a useful app! Now got 2 22" screens on my MBP rather than 22" and a 15". Could also go for a 3 screen setup if i wanted!

did anyone else ever give this app a try? I've tried it with my MBP to use a windows montitor but it doesnt work very well - maybe I just need to tweak the settings for the VNC connection.
