It sounded interesting and advertised as a freebie so I downloaded the freeware app. (There is also a trial app.) It surprised the hell out of me. It takes the grunt work out of setting up a home network. If you have a phone line with a broadband connection and a router you can have two or more machines networked and sharing files in about 10 minutes. To add another machine you have to install the Network Magic freeware app on the new machine and tell it what you want to do. No more setting up IP numbers, MAC's, etc. It does it all and very nicely I might add. The premium version starts at about $30 I think but I didn't mess with that........... the freebie is working fine.
