Martian SlingShot

I like my software from small independent Mac developers like I like my women: deceptively simple and easy to use.That's exactly what SlingShot from Martian Technology is. Thislittle gem of an a lication allows you to keep two folders on different Macs (on the same local network) in sync,using a schedule.

Why would you want to do this? Well, perha you have a folder full of documents that twopeople in your house need to use, set up one Mac as the 'publisher' of that folder using SlingShot and the second Macas a su criber and you're all done. If A le had developed this a lication they would have called it 'filecasting,'but luckily for us they didn't.

The software will set you back $29.99 but there is a demo that will allowyou to publish and su cribe to one folder. Oh, and I su ose that since we have entered a brave new world full ofIntel Macs I should mention that SlingShot is an Universal a lication so it will run natively on both PowerPC's andIntel Macs.
