I'd give this a shot if I didn't have to pay so much to upgrade from MP Pro. MP Pro gave me trouble, so I hesitate to spend more money on this.

I don't need the Acoustic Bridge, and the rest I can get free with Mouse Without Borders.

RedneckDude : The free beta lets you control a single secondary if you want to try it. No clipboard though.

I realize this, but why try a beta I'm not gonna buy?

What I'm using is fine. I hope this does well.

Maybe you should give it a try and see if you enjoy using it, it's not the same Multiplicity 1.x, it's a brand new app

It should not be using lots of cpu and in testing here it isn't. Are you sure you installed the update correctly?

Ok, maybe I'll try it, but it's gonna need to be grand to warrant the upgrade price.

Strange, i have changed nothing but rebooted a few times and suddenly after the last reboot the CPU usage went away. Works normally for the rest, discovery fine, control fine.

go figure.

Build 20 is not the updated beta. It should say 24 or 25 I think.
