Sorry if this looks like SPAM. Don't know how many of you geek out at
home like I do running multiple systems simultaneously. A KVM just
doesn't get it when you want both systems up at once, each with its own
monitor, and don't want to wrestle with multiple keyboards and mice.
I love Synergy, but with the lack of Vista support, (it works, but has a
few issues), I'll be checking out Input Director tonight.
Input Director

Synergy
http://synergy2.sourceforge.net/
So far, Synergy is perfect when you have a monitor or monitors for
multiple systems, a local network, and want to share a single keyboard
and mouse. You can set it to move to another system by moving the mouse
to the edge of the screen. It works, almost flawlessly between the
systems and even shares the clipboard. It has some issues with Vista,
but works there for the most part. I have not tried InputDirector yet.
Hope some of you find this useful.
