Bottom is least worst (on largish screens)
Authored by: DotDotComma on Mar 16, '06 07:59:36AM

Tried all positions, but tend to use the bottom ... because:
(a) currently using teleport to slide one mouse across three Macs and it tended to whip things off the dock on the edge as cursor passed
(b) left side interferes with toolboxes in Photoshop and many other progs
(c) right side interferes with documents dropped/saved on desktop.

But when the Dock becomes voice activated, that'll be better ... ;o)

I most say... I've never seen an app that allows the mouse to transfer over multiple machines.

Please enlighten me with a link or some other documentation!

How to have more Macs than mice...
Authored by: DotDotComma on Mar 16, '06 09:33:54AM
Teleport from abyssoft is the one that works best for me (and responsive developers too) ... though there are other packages around .... Does a reply to an off-topic request count as on-topic? ;o)

Does anyone know of a program that will perform this function between mac and pc?

"Computer, hide dock"

Don't wish for something, make a speakable item for it!

Talk to the Dock...
Authored by: DotDotComma on Mar 16, '06 09:57:01AM

*sigh*

Why is everyone cleverer than me?

I'm sure I used to be able to make items speakable - my son used to have to recite a poem to play games on my powerbook - but I cannot get my head around what I do with that smart-looking script/plist to do the job? And will it toggle the Dock on and off?

;o)
