Screenshot for Symbian: a perfect N95 app

February 12th, 2008 / 1 Comment » / by Jaap

When a previous post was spot by Jans N95blog.com, I noticed a considerable increasing of my hits.

Since I mainly work at my MBP and my mediacenter is my main download machine, I needed a convenient way of accessing the machine, OS-X way. Here’s what I found: sshfs for Mac OS X. Installing is very easy: download, install the package and your done.
