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. This little gem of an application 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, perhaps you have a folder full of documents that two people in your house need to use, set up one Mac as the 'publisher' of that folder using SlingShot and the second Mac as a subscriber and you're all done. If Apple had developed this application 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 allow you to publish and subscribe to one folder. Oh, and I suppose that since we have entered a brave new world full of Intel Macs I should mention that SlingShot is an Universal application so it will run natively on both PowerPC's and Intel Macs.
