so.. many.. problems...

This software has been a nightmare. I would have given it 1 star; however I eventually got it to work. Originally I was using Teleport and maintaining 2 OSX installations. Then I found this and thought it would be better to simply extend my screen. After installing the host software on my main mac, my mouse was completely unusable. There is a setting in its preferences that FREAKING DISABLES THE #*#()@$*(@)!@# LEFT MOUSE BUTTON!!! Who **THOUGHT** of that?! So, I figured that out after 2 HOURS of panicking. Then I launch the software, only to find that it keeps disconnecting and freezing my host system. Im on a wired Gig-E lan, same subnet, I exchange files with my other mac all the time. Teleport even works great. This ridiculous software works keeps saying it cant connect to the other host - when **Im ALREADY USING IT** and the preference pane wont go away!!! The worse part is, the software works - I can drag windows over and use it for notification stuff. The claim of "extremely responsive" is pretty much crap though. Its not. There is absolutely lag all over; however for basic informational stuff it works ok.

I cant continue to use it though, since the dang warning box never GOES AWAY saying "Cant connect" even though Im using it. This software hasnt been updated in nearly a year. I have no idea if the developer is around anymore. Personally, Im going to ask Apple for a refund. If the developer would answer support Id consider using this, but not in its current state.
