AirParrot, AirPlay mirror your Mac or PC's screen to your Apple TV, wirelessly.

AirParrot. This app allows those with older Macs (non-Mountain Lion macs) that do not have AirPlay Mirroring built in, the ability to do just that...stream your screen wirelessly to an Apple TV. For $9.99 it was worth it.  My principal had fallen in love with the announcement slide show I would show on our cafe TV.  I was using an iPad with Keynote, Airplay and Apple TV.  It was working great until other staff jumped on the Apple TV bandwagon! Our network went from one person using Apple TV to six and my poor little iPad (and its AirPlay) kept getting kicked off our network and Airplay kept losing it's connection to the cafe's Apple TV.  I know what you are thinking...dummy it's NOT the Ipad or the Apple TV's fault but it's your network...IT CAN'T HANDLE ALL THAT STUFF and you are right.  Being the stubborn, OCD tech person that I am, I was not willing to give up.  I downloaded the AirParrot trial, which gave me 20 minutes to see if I liked it.  I put it on my MacBook and it worked like a charm.  It never lost its connection with my cafe's Apple TV (maybe somebody out there can explain this one to me) but it is just what the doctored ordered!
