1498 Do you have both a Mac and a PC at home or at work? Do you wish you could work on all of your computing devices at the same time? iRAPP is an innovative software application, which enables you to do just that – sit on your PC and work on both your PC applications as well as on your Mac applications at the same time. What is even better, if you have several Macs, you can control and work on all of them at the same time. All you need is the iRAPP software and place all of your computers onto a same local network.

iRAPP's unique and innovative event handling technology allows you to work on individual Mac and PC applications side by side, as if they were part of the same operating system.

As the computing platforms evolve, and the price of PC's and Mac's continue to decline, there are increasingly more people who have and use more than one computer regularly. With the recent revival and popularity of Apple's Mac computers, both consumers, and increasingly working professionals find themselves in a situation where they not only have multiple devices with the same OS, but also have both a Mac and a PC.

iRAPP application seeks to simplify the working environment for these "multi-platform", "multi-device" users. iRAPP essentially replaces a hardware KVM switch, and gives you valuable additional flexibility. First, it gets rid of a mess of monitor and keyboard/mouse cables. Second, you can de-clutter your desk by placing your Mac computers away from your desk (the only requirement is that they stay connected to your network, wirelessly or via the Ethernet cable). Third, iRAPP's unique event handling technology gives you a superior user experience. Since you can open individual Mac and PC applications side by side, it appears as if you are working on a single computer. As a user, you are both device and operating system independent.

With iRAPP 1.0, you can:
• Work on both your Mac and your PC at the same time, using one screen and one keyboard
• Control and work on a single or multiple Mac machines directly from your PC
• Cut and paste text and images from Mac applications to PC applications
