[QUOTE="mahlerbone, post: 1087206, member: 166429"] 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 ([url=http://synergy2.sourceforge.net/]Synergy[/url]) 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! [/QUOTE]
