Every now and then, I find a program that makes me really happy that I am a mac user. I remember the day I first discovered CSSedit or the first time I used Quicksilver. These are programs that I use all of the time. Last week I found not one, but two of these programs.
The first is a free utility called Teleport. This program allows you to use one mouse and keyboard to control all of the macs on a given network. At first I thought, well this is cool. But when I started using it (I have a Macbook and an iMac that I use side by side all of the time) I thought this is awesome. It is like having a second screen only better. I can drag and drop files between computers and it really aides my multitasking. You can also use it to get around the whole "can't move files using leopard's screen sharing" thing. It is awesome.
The second program I found unfortunately isn't free. But it is no less awesome. It is a program for writers called Scrivener. This program has full screen distraction free text editing like writeroom. But the real awesome thing about this program is that it allows you to store and view all of your research files in the same file as what you are writing. I am a preacher and I often listen to other peoples sermons on a text before I attempt to preach from it so I have found myself getting several sermonaudio.com files, attaching them to my sermon file and I am able to listen and write at the same time.
Both of these programs are, unfortunately, Mac only. Mark them up as another reason to get a Mac.
