FolderShare makes P2P personal

Want to access your work PC from home, sync files between your Mac and Windows PC, or share files with co-workers or a group of friends? Check out FolderShare, a new service from Michael Merhej, previously of the Audiogalaxy peer-to-peer music sharing service. FolderShare takes the P2P concept and applies it to your own files. You can choose folders on your various machines to sync, and they'll do so automatically. You can also share specified files with groups of friends. And you can access your entire computer from any other computer on the net, as long as your computer is online and running the FolderShare program.
Yes, there are plenty of other programs that offer similar functions.
But FolderShare is cross-platform, incredibly easy to set up and
configure, and reasonably priced (there's a free version that offers
basic syncing, a $50-per-year version that includes collaboration, and
a $100 version that adds the remote PC access features). Of course,
FolderShare isn't a full-featured remote access service like GoToMyPC,
but it's a lot cheaper (GoToMyPC's lowest-priced plan is $175 a
year). Just make sure to choose a good password. Seeing your entire
hard drive listed in a browser window is both exciting and frightening;
anyone who learns your password has access to everything.

Graveyard Shift has at least 15 levels, and it might even have some secret stages I haven't unlocked yet.
They key to getting good at Graveyard Shift is learning to use ...
