Hi Everyone!

Long time lurker...first time poster.

I have a MacBook that I use when I am home, and I recently bought a Mac Mini 1.42ghz Power PC G4 to hook up to my TV, so I can watch Hulu, Netflix, etc.

I want to use the keyboard and track pad of my laptop to control the Mac Mini, so I don't have to worry about using two seperate keyboards when I am using the computer and also watching TV.

What is the best software for me to do this with?

I have read a little about Synergy (Synergy) which seems like the only software I can find to do what I need to do. But, it says there are some bugs for the Mac version.

Does anybody have any suggestions, for or against, Synergy or other software.


Thanks!

helo


happy to help


Why don't you use screen sharing on mac Book air, it is really easy .
just enable the remote management from your macmini, connect from your MacBook

(its Preinstall app in Leopard and Snow Leopard Both, its called Screen sharing )

hope it helps

If you don't like Screen sharing as an option check out abyssoft - teleport. It sounds like you want to do exactly what I was doing for a couple of months. I like the fact that since both machines had their own screens it didn't clutter things up with an extra window.
